here is some of my work...hopefully these images arent huge....lol....

There are a lot of photos here to C&C, if that's what you wanted, but I must say that the overall impression is very good! I especially like 3, 4, and the second to last one.

The first photo is fun but I think it would have worked better if just the hem of your jeans and your shoes were visible. The other photos look a bit overprocessed (might be my screen though). The skating boy would have been good if you had got in closer and we could see his face more. I like the last two B/W shots - that guy skating on the hand rail! I really like how you are experimenting with different styles :thumbup:

 

[Ciggy_Num_Num]

glad yall like the shots!

Tish, when you say over processed, what do you mean? like the color is off or not right?

yeah, i mainly shoot graffiti and rollerblading, but id like to expand out a bit, haha!

thanks for the comments so far. any more CC is welcome, its the only way to get better.

If you are looking for CC:

1. Next post, make sure to add about half as many photos, and only add what you think is best.
2. Number your photos for easy reference. Ex: I like #1 because...not "I like the one with the writing on the wall in the upper right under the one....blah blah"

But, I'll do it anyway.
1: It's good. I like it. Nice DOF, nice editing. My favorite. 8/10
2: I like the editing. It's cropped entirely too close. The left is just about clipped off, and the subject really isn't all that entertaining alone. 4/10
3: Very confusing, very busy, lacks a subject. 0/10
4: Overprocessed. Colors are entirely too oversaturated, contrast is pushed way too high, The background is very busy and takes away from the not-so-interesting subject. 2/10
5: Not very level, and is really missing a clearly defined subject as well. 1/10
6: The skater is sharp and all, but the composition is severely lacking, the tones are a little flat, and there's some pretty bad falloff on the edges. 3/10
7: Major distortion, vignette=tacky, subject is cut off, poor perspective, subject lacks significance. 1/10
8: Not level. Subject lacks interest. Poorish composition. 1/10
9: Much better! Nice contrast. Subject is in focus, fairly good composition, Just slightly off level as well. 7/10
10: Same as #9, but the vignette is still a bit tacky. 6/10.

Overall, try to stay away from vignettes. They're considered tacky in 95% of situations. Sorry if my critique was a little nit-picky, but no one will ever get better unless you know what you should fix, right?

Keep shooting! :thumbsup:

damn. haha! you are the first person to ever rip into my pictures. thank you!! lol. ive never had anyone get that nit picky. i really appreciate everything you said and will definitely take everything you said into consideration.

im really glad that you liked a few too. at least lets me know i am doing somethings right. ive been shooting for a few years, all self taught and i have never really had an critique/advice.

Hey, you have the same avatar as that one other guy, or at least, quite similar....What ever will I do!!!

 

[Ciggy_Num_Num]

haha! Better?

 

[Fishpaste]

Lol! This one makes me happy, because it's also happy! Like, "Hey guys, I'm so happy that photography is my hobby, and you are all my friends!"

 

[Ciggy_Num_Num]

that smiley makes me laugh every time i see it. lol

 

[CapturedByNicki]

I think id like to see photo 1 in B & W...

 

[EchoingWhisper]

Most of your photos are wide open, you should really stop down a bit.

Picture number 1, 4 and 8 have the ISO too high.

I'm new to! Man those look cool! Keep it up!

Agree with much of what MarkW said, including #s 1 and 10 being among the best. I would add only that both of these shots could benefit from a little cropping on the bottom, where there is a lot of out-of-focus stuff. Yeah, the vignette has to go or at least be dialed back quite a bit. #1 also looks too yellow to me, but my work monitor is not that accurate, so take that with a grain of salt.

What for? I can't see where any of these would benefit from the extra depth of field..

Picture number 1, 4 and 8 have the ISO too high.
Why? I don't see recognizable noise in them. That's probably because the ISO was only at 400. Not too high at all.

I honestly don't see the base for your statements..
