First Day Of Photography....Critics Welcome

[Nightsblood]

This was my first day off work so I figured I'd venture out with the new (to me) 20D. I shot a few photos. Heres some of what came out best. Critiques are welcome. They do help us learn by whats seen in your eyes as well as ours.

not bad for first day but #3 and #4 would look better with a definative subject like you did on #1 and #2 and when you post some pics click on the button right over the textbox(its a mountain with a sun behind it. it will open a wondow and you insert you link in it,it will look like thishttp://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95539

because lots of people usually dont click on link if they are not already posted as an image.(me first) ^^

one suggestion. When you have a main subject, try to keep it from being centered. Kind of makes it boring. Other than that you did a great job for a first day. Congrats!

If you want centered photos, fill up the entire frame with the subject. Otherwise use the rule of thirds when composing a photograph. I see great potential in your photos; keep up the work and you will get better over time...
Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys for the criticism. It really does help us newbies.

I tried posting the photos on here but, it wouldnt work for me. Ive been on other forums and never had a problem posting pics but, didnt work for me here. Let me read the tutorial again.

Again, thanks.
