Hopefully I'm posting in the right area of the forum. I'm a noob at photography so feel free to comment either good or bad. Thanks.

Doves in the backyard tree.


Walking trail near Beeton, ON.

I wouldn't be good to comment on the doves but I like the leading lines in the second one.

Great images, I'm just north east of you in Stroud ( Innisfil ) Ontario.
What gear are you using?

We just bought a FUJI Finepix SL300, far from any professional gear, but it's a huge step up from the cheap 4.0MP point & shoot that we had before! We're learning the new cam slowly but surely.....so you're from Innisfil, I can't wait to do some Pike fishing out on Cooks Bay!

Second shot is nice! Dove shot is a bit busy with the limbs.

For the mourning dove shot; you did a good job with the composition in terms of framing them with the branches, but they are out of focus. Are you using autofocus or manual?

With your second shot, as mentioned above nice use of leading lines.

PS Isn't it nice to finally have some spring weather around here for a change?

Doves are a bit fuzzy and the image is cluttered. The second one is nice, but I feel it could use a bit more contrast.

I agree with @westernguy. First one is very cluttered. Second one is too desaturated.

@BlackSheep, camera only has autofocus. We have a bridge camera bought from Futureshop. Weather is great, finally less rain here in the GTA.

Thanks for the input everyone, I guess the autofocus on the cam liked the branches instead of the birds. haha

Hey Bull, looks like everyone else covered your images so I will say I like the second one, nice lines.
Welcome by the way! We are over by Hanover thoroughly enjoying the warm!
