Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
Been working on just getting out and shooting more lately...Here are a few of my latest. I'm always open to critique/feedback but know that most don't like to do critiques when there are several images in a thread. If you see a photo that you'd like to critique, go for it! If not, that's cool too!

These were my first attempt at Christmas light shots...Other than need a wider angle lens, I like 'em!

These, I took yesterday with my new Olympus OM-D EM-5. I'm still working on getting the hang of it and only have the 40-150mm lens for now. I like it a lot and I know I'll like it a lot better once I get used to the differences between it and my D5200. I love the touch screen focus and shoot option on the tilting screen. It let me get the two "street" shots without being noticed at all!
Street - 12.20.14-2

Street - 12.20.14-1

Nice set. Just a couple notes
It might be just these old tired eyes but 3 seems to be listing slightly to the left
I'd like to see the top of the arch on 5
The windows on the top of 6 aren't quite symmetical, but a nice shot non the less

Thanks! I have to agree with ya on 3. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out...I'll have to fix that. Agreed on 5, I think I was fixated on the cross when I was there and didn't pay attention to the arch...no other reason I didn't get it. I'll go back and get another some day. I'd like a pic of those doors without the wreaths...
 
The first two shots are lovely night shots, I'd just maybe suggest a wider FOV.

Agreed. I might be trying to get some more at some point before everyone starts taking them down and trying out my 50mm or even my kit lens.
 
use the kit lens; 50mm isn't that much wider than 70mm.
