#1 Isn't interesting IMO. Get in tighter, play with DOF a little.

#2 Bird is centered, and the focus is on the wood, not on its head/eye. Nice background

Wait a sec... did someone just ask for critique... listen to the advice, then go and reshoot!? Surely I am dreaming.

Mind = Blown.

OP, you will do better here than the majority of other newcomers. Good for you, and glad to see your photo-enthusiasm. :thumbup:

I think the first shot as well could have used a smaller DoF as well. Both need boosts in sharpness and contrast in my opinion.

i needed to reshoot so i could see if i understood what i the C&C was telling me.. silly..

As Tyler said, you will do well with that attitude. Many many newcomers are looking for CC for the wrong reasons. I use to be one of them. Then one day, I was cured.

well thanks for helping me understand... yes .. i need the C&C or i will never learn.. i appreciate the good and the bad... in the very end i know it is an individual thing.. but i have found out so much just from the little issues the critics point out.. stuff i just did not see.. amazing what you don't see in your own pic... could be so insignificant until it is pointed out to me.. and then stands out like sore thumb... haha.. thanks..
