Hi there, I just got my first DSLR (Rebel XS) a few months ago and have been trying to learn everything I can about photography, it has been a lot of fun! I have some pictures from a trip that I am on and would really enjoy seeing if I am going in the right direction or not!

Sorry if that is too many, I have been taking tons! I have been on the road and so haven't opened them in Photoshop yet, so if you have any suggestions on what I should focus on in processing let me know.

Thanks a lot

I really like number 4 but I just wish the bug was a little more in focus, but nice composition and DOF.

The white balance is off in #1.

Few, if any, are going to take the time and effort needed to C&C 11 photos. Think about it.

One at a time works better for C&C

#6 is confusing. I was wondering how you had gotten a slight double exposure going. It took me awhile to figure out you were dealing with reflections.

How in the world did you get TWO bear shots in front of a tree? I live in the mountains and have 25 pics of bears with their heads behind a tree. Bare butts are sometimes fun to look at, but not bear butts. I'm jealous. Tom Beard
