Newby here. Critique?

[stacye13]

Hi. I'm new to the forum and pretty new to photography. I got a Canon Rebel XSi with the kit lens last fall and have been slowly trying to learn on my own from scratch. I recently got the $200 55-250 telephoto lens and am loving it. I'd love to have some good glass but right now the $200 was a serious stretch. I was wondering if I can get some critique on some of my pictures. I'm not sure if this is going to do the links right but we'll see...

1. pictures that I did in photoshop elements 9 with the kit lens. The first one is way too hazy to me. (I didn't take the background pictures. This is from when I first started and I haven't went back and changed it to one of my background pics yet)

Hard to give too much feedback with so many photos butI think 3086 has some merit.... 3099 is a great photo but you have to pull some of the red out of it. she's cute as can be!

Thanks I just couldn't decide which to post so I kinda went with a little of everything. She's my neice and such a wonderful little model. I'm learning how to use PS Elements so I am still unsure on how to do some things. I just got a book and am learning as I go along.

Is this better?

You really need to learn how to post images instead of posting links. Many people (like myself) won't bother to click on links to your flickr or whatever it happens to be. Use

Here is a link to a sticky at the top of the beginner's forum - it shows you how to post pics.

Thank you. I couldn't figure out how to do that from Flickr. I just replaced all of the links with the images.
