Answer 1

Nice framing on quite a few... There were a couple I found boring, the second image with the caterpillar in particular (299); the whole black and white, but color caterpillar just seems like a cheap canned effect. The second image of the caterpillar (308) is so much more interesting. Photograph has a nice tone, and beautiful contrast. I'd like to see some of the crisp edges you used in the picture of the leafs and rain drops (086) used in some of the portraits. The blurriness of the people doesn't seem intentional, just like out of focus photography. If this isn't a limitation by your equipment, then do everything possible to get that same crisp clarity into these portraits. Human skin/eyes/body is so incredibly detailed, that a blurry photo leaves nothing but disappointment. The smaller thumbnails of the people you photographed look great, but when enlarging them, they lose the impact of the smaller photos.... Not because they look better smaller, but they look clearer in their smaller format.

Overall, you have potential and a good eye, but you need to refine your photography skills. Look at some professionals work and look figure out what makes those photographs great. By constantly looking at good photography, you'll eventually know what you want out of your photographs and won't need to hear anyone else’s opinion.

Images I really liked: 329, 308, and 086.

Images with great potential: 038, 070.

On 038 I think a little bit of cropping will do wonders for this photo. It feels antique almost with the grainy high contrast look to it. I'd like to see it in a square format, like it was taken on an old Brownie camera with 320 film. Try cropping the photograph to just under the hair of the girl pushing.

On 070, I don't think there is anything you can do about it now, but the clarity I was talking about earlier, There's clearly allot of emotion in your subjects eyes, and the blurriness just destroys any hope of making a connection with your subject.


Stick with it.

Answer 2

Very good composure of shots. Vivid colors. For the pictures with the sun shining through you should try and make the forground black so its just a black outline, I feel it makes the scene more dramaic. Could have done without the butterfly picture. Good try if you tried to make it a little bit blurry, but its way too blurry to make out in my opinion. Overall its really nice. Most of your shots are better than mine http://www.flickr.com/photos/89426829@N00/

Answer 3

you have some nice photos, but here's a few tips
The Good: you have a few out-of-the-ordinary photos, like the one of the purple flower, verry nice...stick to that style
The Bad: try to capture everything in the frame, like the one of the white flower with the worm-it's leaving out the top part of the flower (you can also try another angle if there's something you don't want when you move the camera upwards)
The Ugly: try to get rid of the date on the pic lol, and no more eye photos unless they have good lighting and focus...oke?
overall....nice
