I like the colors in the first photo but wish the flower was more in focus. They all look a little soft and out of focus.

Also --- Posting how you shot the photos... Aperture/ISO/Shutter speed will help others give you helpful information. I'm still learning so I'd wait for others to comment, but you should try not to shoot wide open ((use a higher aperture #) and bump up your shutter speed to help with the focus issues.

Thanks for the feedback.. well have updated the settings as mentioned.. Looking for some more feedbacks

Don't post such tiny pictures, it is impossible to give any reasonable feedback on individual issues when the picture is so small.

Items you might think about.

why should anyone want to look at this picture?
what did I want people to think about it?
is there lots of empty space that doesn't do anything?
does the picture give an impression of some sort?

Exactly that's the problem.. I tried to attach the files from my Macbook and they are so very small!! I am myself mad at me for posting tiny pics... So trying again after uploading to Photobucket:-

Well here are the perhaps 3 images I would like to share an have honest feedbacks.
Main reason for the pictures is just that I have got my hands onto my first DSLR and hence want to know about to shoot with these. Ofcourse want to grow in my hobby and turn it into a passion and hence all harsh comments are also welcome.

1) Saw this beautiful sculpture near to my house in the tree shades.
Camera settings :- f/2.2 , 1/640,ISO - 200

2) Wanted to try out Bokeh and hence got this picture :-
Camera settings :- f/1.8, 1/1600,ISO - 200

3) Liked how the trail went off Liked the all green nature

..
Camera settings :- f/5.6,1/200,ISO - 200

Abhishek,

I see much talent in your images.... but when you post these much images together, it is difficult to criticize them together
if you tell many jokes together there will be only one laugh

In the first set of images you placed your main object at the center of the picture which is generally unwelcome; but in your new set you corrected it; all your images have rich colors which i like very well.....

Regards
