Hey everyone, just found your forum today. Where have i been all my life? Ive spent 3 hours at least just browsing! Figured I'd post a few shots I've taken the last few months that I liked. Would love to hear your criticism!

#2 is in Colorado?
#3 Doesnt do anything to me plus the ball is out of focus
#4 I think you need to crop it a lot tighter

I like #4. I would crop it to a square:

I'm liking #4 too, but all the negative space is just useless, IMO. Make your subject, the subject.

I'd crop and warm it a touch:

I like the contrast, the simplicity, and the sharp lines of #2. Perhaps a taller crop though.

Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the feedback! To answer a few questions, yes number 2 is in CO Springs at the US Air Force Academy back earlier this summer. Number 1 is the KC royals stadium the other night.

And for all the comments on number 4, its actually the moons reflection off a local lake here. I liked how I could focus the shot on the grass but still get the glow coming off the lake. Ill take all the advice into consideration!

Hello fellow Kc one! I love them all except # 3!

 

[timlair]

How are you enjoying the weather!?

#3 and #4 could use some cropping.

#1 is awesome wide angle. great shot

I really like the reflective one but think a tighter crop would definetly help. I like the angles in the first one but not the way the shot was composed. Does that make sense. 2 did nothing for me sorry. Anyhoo, welcome to the forum. Look forward to seeing more or your shots.
