Thanks guys have a nice day

Seems like a typical "instagram fauxtographer" to me. If she wants feedback then have her come to the forum and post one or two of her photos that she wants critiqued specifically. Otherwise, this is pointless.

She can see a bit. A bit of a tendency to get in too close, and relies a bit heavily on instagram filters to generate an interesting image, but there are signs on that instagram stream that she has a bit of a photographic eye. All I can really say is general themes though, without specific pictures and specific requests for critique.

Have her post a few of what she considers her absolute best images, using instagrams doesn't really tell us anything.

I think she would benefit from something like The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos: Michael Freeman: Amazon.com: Kindle Store

She looks like she might have an eye for it but lacks total basic understanding of what makes a pleasing image to start with. Get her something like this as a gift!

I gotta agree with Snakeguy101.

Thanks for the help. A lot of her pictures are actually edited with her graphic design program, not Instagram though because she has been doing graphic design for 5 years.

Some of her graphic design work that incorporates photographs is interesting. She uses a lot of vibrant color - I like for example the paint splatterd looking image of the ferris wheel using color and pattern.

I see potential and agree she seems to be seeing interesting photos in what's around her. She seems to have skills in using balance in composing images; I'd encourage her to keep working at it and keep developing her skills. (And read the terms & conditions anywhere she's posting her pictures - my motto lately seems to be to get informed and protect your work.)

Did you really join a photography forum just to promote your girlfriends Facebook and Instagram. (Yes we know you just joined because you have 3 posts and two of them are in this thread)
