Still trying to find my style...

[AnArdentRed]

For personal reasons I have had to ignore my cameras for the past 3 years. Recently, I was able to get back into the swing of things. Im still trying to figure what subjects I like to shoot best. However, here are a few of my more recent shots from when I was on vacation. Any criticisms, comments, suggestions are well appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello; Happy New Year

@1: i think the image could have been more punchy, if the dial is more closer, bigger at the left end of the frame, with decreasing focus (Low DOF) for the rest of the things seen on the board;light is insufficient

@2: Very good, if brightened a bit

@3:Good angle

@4: again light is low towards the bottom part of image

@5: This image also would have been more effective, if the outline of the security person is more distinct

@rest of the images: not opening

Regards

Happy New Year! Thank you for your insight and fast response.
I agree with what you said about #5. For a more distinct outline, what would you recommend?

Lots of red x's. If you are going to post a boat load of photos, it's helpful if you number them.

Posting no more than 2 or 3 photos at a time makes it much easier for people to offer in-depth critiques and comments without it seeming like an unpaid job.

I reduced it the one picture we were discussing. Hope that helps a little bit.

I think there so many PS experts here, who can promptly help you on this; because me always carry out various experimentations to go near a result i want to achieve; let us wait....

Happy New Year.
