So I'm new to photography and this site I was wondering...

[Pdub77]

if you guys could give me some feedback and tell me what you think about a few of my favorite shots I have taken.
Negative positive anything is appreciated! Thanks so much.

First tip: Post fewer images and seperate them and number them. Tell us what camera you are using and what settings you used. there are ways to find this out, but if you give people less work to do you will get more feedback.

1st one has potential but either the sun or the plants (thistles?) have to be in focus.

2nd It's too dark. try and shoot around twilight as you will get more tones in the image and see some detail on buildings

3rd - I quite like this one - what processing have you done? I could do with seeing more of the foreground as there is a little too much sky for my taste

4th White balance looks a little off here. Are you using auto?

5th the spider LOOKS sharp, but if only you could have got closer to him there's too much background.


It might be useful if you changed your preferences to enable people to edit your photos to demonstrate what they mean.

Plus, the watermark is very distracting.

The first one was the second day I got my camera so I was using auto focus just trying to mess with the aperture and all of that stuff to see how it all worked I wish I would have spent the time to just focus it. The third one I just messed with the curves and vibrance and saturation on Photoshop. On the fourth one I was messing around with different white balances to see what they would do and I just liked how that one looked. And I know my watermark is distracting I just hurry and throw them on the pictures when I upload them to social sites like Facebook and stuff like that. I will change my preferences so that people can edit my pictures as well thanks for the advice!

They are all well shot but to me 2 and 3 are interesting and well done gut they're snapshots.
I agree with another comment, #1 would be better if the thistles were in sharp focus, and some of the area on the left was cropped out.
#4 is pretty but as is is a post card snap shop.
#5 would be fantastic with a real tight crop of the bug.

so just curious you say #4 is a post card as is what would you do to it if you had shot it just curious I am completely new at all of this.

It's pretty don't get me wrong but the out of focus trees in the foreground crop posibilities.

Lower, like on a boat on the lake, closer, and with a little less water and a bit more mountain and sky might really look nice.
I know that may not have been posible but that's the way I see the shot.

Well thanks man and no I was just curious at how you would do it I'll think about that next time for sure. Your feedback is much appreciated!
