i wouldnt call it good or bad, its just not interesting to me

I am thinking that there was something you "saw" there ... try to concentrate on that vision and then try to figure out how to reproduce that.

Thanks guys

I'm just begining...so far finding things that will make good photo is my hardest part! ...too bad thats the main part of photography! I'll try better next time.

seems out of focus....and well i jsut dont get it...hmmm try in focus and maybe not an angled crop seems odd to me.....

Bad, very bad, not the photo but the Virginia Creeper.

That pic lacks interest but keep trying, it will come to you.

Indeed. I think you have an interesting subject, might want to try turning it into a B&W with super contrast, or grabbing it from a different angle/focal length.

seems out of focus

Its not.

personally i actually like the composition of the photo...makes me wanna see more of the vines, or see them continue going up or somehting....cool shot

i find this pic interesting.

I like it. It's not captivating, but it's a well-composed shot. It's sharp, properly-exposed, and the lines lead the eye well. I think you have a good eye for composure which gives you a foundation for taking good pictures of interesting subjects.

It could be something to hang up in a gardening room, convert to B&W and hang in a guest room, or maybe a half-bath.

I have never done anything like this before, but i thought it might look cool in portrait and B&W. I am not to good at PS so i bet it could look better but here it is.

I would have focused on 3 of the leaves as opposed to a larger portion of the strand. I think it's well composed, and well angled, and well lit. I would like to see these leaves closer up with water dripping off of them.

In editing, I would have saturated the greens a tad, and increased the contrast a tad.

Otherwise, I think it works - and its pretty good for newbie.
I enjoy taking pictures of wildlife and plants. They're actually more difficult than it would seem. Depending on the subject, lighting and composition can make plantlife look really amazing and artistic - but its hard to do.

Within the next year, I'm moving to Brazil from Arkansas. I actually am looking forward to new subject matter. Palm Trees, exotic animals and exotic fruits. All stuff that would make for more interesting photography (at least to me).

I agree about trying to determine a focal point. Seems like the picture doesn't grab the viewer at all.

Thanks so much for your critique! I will keep all your advice in mind next time I shoot! I do like the b/w version...I think I'll play around with that some!

I am using a p&s right now so focusing in on just a few leaves is hard, but I will try it...I agree, that would look better.

Oh...btw...Ron, why is 'Virginia Creeper' bad? We always like our vines lol!.
