Photography noob's first post. C&C Please!

Hey everyone. I've been creeping around here for awhile now before finally buying a camera. C&C is much appreciated.

Not bad for a first post, assuming you have a little knowledge about photography under your belt. I would suggest cropping the left side of the image some. Also seems very soft and cool. Try some different filters on this. Make sure you don't overedit it though. Realism is key. Good first post though!

Thanks! I tried B&W but it just didn't look right but trying other filters slipped my mind. Also, I agree with you on the cropping I try that and see what comes out.
