Alright guys, I've finally edited some shots, instead of just posting them online straight from the camera. There's no real theme to them, just a bunch of different pictures.

All your constructive criticism is appreciated! I really want to get better at photography!

Here are the results:

1)

2)

3)

1)OOF, seems way to busy, eye not drawn to anything
2)you have a head or something in the bottom right, Seems OOF but my eyes are a little off today.
3)OOF
4)kinda like this one a bit. I would reduce DOF and its over exposed
5)way to centered


Thats all i got

I like the busy number one. I think it should be out further but there is so much in the picture that it leaves me exploring around in the picture instead of focusing on just one thing. I kinda like it that way.

Thanks guys!

Opher, I agree, most of my shots are OOF. It's the autofocus with my little P&S that I have trouble with. Are there any tips to it? Like in #3, the focus is on the little bud to the left, not on the flower, where I want it. 4, it's unfortunate I had that washed out background. How would I fix that in the future? Just watch the background?

Bryce, I haven't thought of it that way. Hmm.. Might investigate into that more. All my shots try (notice the emphasis ) to focus on the subject. I'll definitely experiment with that.

P.S. These were with a P&S. I'll get some pictures up from my DSLR once I take some.

i feel like ive seen 1 and 2 before...have you posted them here prior to this?
i might be going crazy lol

I know I posted 2 and 5, but I might have posted 1. Don't worry, you're not going crazy. hahah

These are after they've gone through PP though, I was just posting raw pictures before.
