It is out of focus and under exposed. Also selective coloring is used to pull your focus to the subject of the picture. I don't think it works here because I am assuming that the subject is the baby and not the rattle.

I like the selective colouring. It is artistic and very popular these days. It doesn't pull away from the picture in my opinion because I centered the subject matter and then had the toy to the far left

This whole sentence is a no no lol.
Google rule of thirds and the purpose of selective coloring.[/QUOTE]

I understand that, Ive take art for years and I thankyou for pointing it out- But in alot of cases would you not say EVERYBODY has a different photography style? If I used that rule on every photo I wouldn't stand out or be different which is my main aim- Unless you think I can do that and use the rule???

The second picture is out of focus as well. When your taking pictures of your daughter, try not to cut of pieces of her body, she's too cute to cut of part of her little face!


Your profile says your starting a photography business?

You can still have your own style but with a better understanding of composition.

Ok thanks for the tip (thats why i joined up),
Yes I plan to. I have had several people ask me to do photos for them already and have got great references. A couple of years ago I got top marks for photography in all of Australasia.
But, my photos were very very very artistic which is nice if someone is wanting them as canvas art. I just haven't quite got the hang of professional photos in which everything is perfect.
I won't be starting it for a while- Im doing a course in the meantime and will be buying a MUCH BETTER camera (which is half the problem) but until then I may as well get as much advice as possible

Cool

Along with a better camera start researching lighting because in my opinion that is just important!

Good luck!

Yea, thanks. These are my older photos my newer ones have lighting and backdrop and they look AWESOME if I may be cocky for a moment.
But I worry about posting them, seeing as Im just starting out I would hate for them to be stolen.

This is my watermark Ive made....Ive had trouble making the backround transparent as Im using GIMP (I do have photoshop but find Gimp easier and better)
Im wondering if you have any suggestions about it and whether you would know how to make backround transparent. Ive tried selecting area then clearing than saving as a gif file but it didn't work???
Thanks again!

awwww thankyou that means alot!

 

[MissCream]

I haven't used gimp before so I'm not sure!

You should just post your new ones, I wouldn't worry about them getting stole if you have your watermark on them.

So this was part of an erotic self-portrait series I did.
It is unusual as it appears like art. I did quite a bit to the image to get it to this.
What are you thoughts. And before you ask (as embarrassing as it is) yes it is me

If im 19 and know how to get rid of a watermark im sure someone who has been in the industry for say 10 years would be able to???

 

[MissCream]

Its not my sorta thing sorry but I'm not really a fan.

What kind of lighting did you get?

Okay, well just make them really small resolution so that if they are copied then they wont be able to be used or printed.
