Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
Also, I get the gist of what C&C stands for (basically review/critique), but what exactly do the letters stand for??

These were all taken with my point and shoots...some with an HP R724 and some with a Nikon L110. Some have PP, some do not. I'd really appreciate some feedback on how these look, moreso from an artistic standpoint. The technical stuff is all still very new to me, as I just upgraded to my first DSLR (Nikon D3000), so I'm more worried about someone else's take on the artistic appeal of the photos. I can't figure out how to link them from my Flikr to here, so here is the link to my album on there. Thanks!

Bumping up - any pictures, please?
I'm joking. But please, put some picture on this thread - the best 2 or 3 or 4 or 5, not many. People will be more glad to answer.
 
I don't know how to link the pictures directly from my Flikr. How do I do that?? lol

Poke around the forum and you'll find more formal instructions, but:
1) upload the photo to Flickr (make sure it's public)
2) grab the URL (displayed using the Share icon)
3) insert the URL into your TPF post

Hope that helps.

BTW...welcome!
 
I tried that but everytime I do, something pops up saying Invalid URL...?? =( I'm getting so frustrated.
 
I'm thinking that maybe I'm not allowed to upload pictures? When I try to upload directly from my computer, it puts little red circles with exclamation points in them next to all of my file names. It also said I wasn't allowed to upload a profile picture because my account wasn't activated or something like that. Ugh.

I'm not an expert on this...but I think an "upload" is considered different than simply pasting the URL in a regular post. The paste should go ok...the upload, not so much.
 
But if I just post the link, it doesn't show the pictures. It just shows a link, which is pretty much what I had in the first post. ?? Is that what I should be doing? I don't get how others are getting their actual pictures to show up.

Actually...I think I was wrong....Grab the HTML/BBCode for the photo in Flickr...not the URL as I said earlier. Sorry. (I just confirmed on my Flickr accnt....)
 
Awesome, thanks! Here goes nothing...sorry for posting so many. I don't expect anybody to critique ALL of them...just any that catch your eye as being pretty decent or pretty bad. Please keep in mind that these were taken with point and shoots. Thanks!

Looks like you got the posting thing down.....big time!! As enzodm said earlier, a smaller number of pix is generally better. You'll more likely get comments about specific images. Also, the more pix, the easier it is to lose sight of specific pictures. No magic number, but for me, I generally hit overload at about 4-5.

That said, a few comments:
Some nice color captures...especially the flowers in #18, although the pedals are cut on each side.
Work on your horizons to ensure they're level. The boat in #12 seems to want to slip off to the right.

Keep shooting and posting! Looking forward to seeing more from that new DSLR!
