This is what I have so far. The semester just started, and I wanted to see what kind of feedback I get! Please dont hold back!

You'll get better responses on your photography if you post the images themselves within your post. :thumbup:

Post few of those images your would like C&C on here.
I would not refer forum members to a site that had prices attached, for whatever reason it tends to drive the negative comments.
There tends to be focus issues in several shots. The sunset lighting just doesnt appeal to me but the effort is there and maybe with practice. I also see issues with composition in several shots.
How long have you been taking photographs? It takes a lot of practice to capture a great sunset. Keep working on it and good luck in class.:thumbup:

I like your pics. You're quite unlike most GD's I've met that take photos: you aren't destroying perfectly good pictures with too many flashy Photoshop effects. :lol:

Thanks for the help! Here are a few images from the album. I think these will give you a general idea of the kind of photos I have taken.

There is really no particular reason why I uploaded them on that site. The main reason I did was because I can see which images are being viewed the most. Im sure there are better sites for that kind of thing, but if there is I dont know about it! Haha I just started taking photography this semester, and the semester started about three weeks ago! Im really new at this, but I like it. So hopefully it will only get better! Thanks for the input!

Your images are much better displayed here. That other site really hinders your shots. I do stand by my previous comments but not bad for 3 weeks in. Keep at it. My daughter just went through what you are about to. Kinda refreshed my interest in photography.

I learned the first week I got into all this that getting a graphic design major is no joke! So your daughter has really achieved something, hopefully I will be able to do the same! But thanks again! Hopefully some of the problems I have now will go away once I actullay learn how to use the camera completely! Hahaha
