I have been taking pictures for a while now, and sometimes I have doubts about my work. I need an opinion from outsiders (people whom I do not know). If you think they suck, please let me know as well! All criticism is welcome.

Thanks all so far for the great feedback and sweet words! :-)
The thing is: I would like to seel some. But frankly, I have no idea where to start. I have submitted some work with my articles, but I want to go a step beyond that. And the fact there are so many great photographers around ... it makes me a bit nervous and all.

EJ, thanks for the tip! Some pics were shot with a Nikon 5400 ( a fancier version of your typical point and shoot) and some with a Canon 350D. So that explains that some pics arent as great. But thanks for the comment! :-)

I thought the pictures of the pronghorn, the leopard, and the eagle were exceptional. Some of your pictures look too bright, and the colors not as saturated as a result. I don't know if you need a new camera or if the problem can be fixed in photoshop but my hp photosmart 3.2 is almost on the same level in terms of quality but I don't have an optical zoom lens and so I can't shoot close-ups. There may be 1 or 2 photo's there that are worthy of NG. I don't know. But your camera seems to have some issues.

Wow !! you pictures are truly wonderful. My father is a professional photographer and he thought that your images were amazing.
You have really captured the 'sparkle' in all your images, you could definitely go very far in the photographic business.
There are really some great animals in Africa and getting your quality of images is very rare. Your images look better than many professionals.
Take my advice, you images are great & your do not need to doubt yourself !!

look out people, I am sure that this girl knows her stuff. My boss does photography for a hobby (and has done for years) and this is near her standards.
They are magical how you have captured so much in each and every clip.
I had to sent the link to my boss, (her name is heather) so I am sure she too will appreciate the tiger sleeping, or the penguins facing away to the rocks .... just Divine photography.
WELL DONE and a huge pat on the back

WOW 5 STARS!!! i love them. i was into photography when i was yonger and there was only maybe 1 thing i relized that was a little off.
that would be trying to center your pictures a little more. i like what you did with the elephant. showing half its face. thats good! i wish when i was younger i could get those pics!!
i would keep going with your great talent in your great carrer! you could definitly get a good amount of money on that!
you would be a fool to not continue this!
keep going good luck and DONT EVER DOUT YOUR WORK BECAUSE IT IS YOURS AND ITS UNIQE!!!
rate me
best answer if you think i am =)

Not bad. Give the lady in the silver shoulder pads some spikes, and you've got the 4th member of The Legion of Doom.

I think they're lovely. Really good.
Very clear. I Particularly like the Ostrich and penguin photos.

Definitely impressive work. My wife and I are avid birders, and we know how difficult getting good bird shots is. You've definitely got my respect in this category. Over all, well done!
