Some of my edited pics - Constructive Criticism

[Dory2006]

Edited a bit. Some constructive criticism would be good.

In case it's important, my camera is a SONY Cyber-Shot. The lens says "Carl Zeiss" "Vario-Tessar" "2,8-5,2/5,8-17,4"
Andit's a MPEG Movie VX
and it has 3X Optical Zoom

Anyway, my pics were edited in Paint.NET

Pic #1 - Butterfly and Flower

Pic #2 - Flower in partial color

Pic #3, Sepia Car

Pic #4 Watercolor Car

Pic #5 Shovel

Pic #6 Orange Car

Pic #7 Skee Ball

#8 purple flower, sepia background

Any suggestions would be good. Thanks.

I really like #5 & #6. Wish I could give you some technical thoughts on why, but I'm just an amateur. All I can say is they look great to my eye.

That's all that really counts isn't it?

Hey dory, can I ask how you make the background sephia and the keep the main focused objects in color? Is that a cropping way? Just curious because it keeps ur eyes focused on the one object, I like that... Thanks great pics

I like #4 I would remove the little tree. #6 I would have pp differently, I don't like the brown in any of the images.
