Answer 1

I didn't care much for them, they look too average, like snapshots. None of them are particularly sharp and are quite low res and noisy. Also, the color temp is too warm in the first three and over saturated, which is a basic white balance problem. If capable, you should set it to auto. In the 'field of childhood memories', there isn't much going on and it's rather boring. In the 'rocks upon water', there is not enough water. It would be better if you pulled back a little, widened the shot and don't just shoot straight down at the rocks. Lower yourself and shoot at an angle and include some of the water because while reading the title of the picture, one will really strain to find the "water". Try shooting in the early AM, use a tripod, and a slower shutter speed and you'll get a much different effect. The "dandelion" field is just boring, again, widen your shot and change the angle of your shot, don't just shoot down at your subject. I really don't have much to say about "heaven lights up", much of the same, no focal point, over-exposed. Sorry to be so harsh, but you asked. Nothing personal.

Answer 2

The best one is the rocks and water. I also like the picture of the sky.
Some things you might want to consider is, look for focal points. This will ad composition to your pieces. Another thing that I noticed with all the pictures is that they were oversaturated. What I mean by this is that the colors were completely overpowering, and unreal. In one of the pieces, the sun was too bright, causing a lack of detail, overexposure, and major purple fringing. One thing you should consider is to invest in a lens hood.
Keep on working to better yourself.

Hello
The rock upon water picture is very well done and I quite enjoy looking at it! It makes feel like some place quiet to sit and read a book and listen to the water flow down stream! Goregeous! As for the Heavens light up picture it definantly not the only pic of it out there but it as well is very delightful to look at as far as buying it and putting up on a wall I wouldnt...I would by the rock one though! Its relaxing if you understand what I mean!

Answer 4

I will be blunt, so don't take these comments personally, but as constructive criticism. They are unremarkable snapshots. with no composition or focal point. I don't care for the post processing on Childhood Field, the Heaven one has blown highlights, Rocks totally lacks composition, so it is just boring. My favorite is Dandelion, but it could be vastly improved simply by lowering your perspective.

I suggest getting some beginner books in photography and learning about lighting, composition, and perspective. "Understanding Exposure", by Bryan Peterson, is a good start.

Keep on learning and practicing.

Answer 5

they're ok, not that remarkable. i think you should learn how to think more like a "photographer" because you lack perspective, and there's nothing that shows your personality in the shots. you should experiment, pick the right time of day, adjust the saturation and so on and so on. and try looking at things from a different angle. i hope you'll improve your skills, and i can't wait to see your other photos in the future. :)

Answer 6

well the pictures look ok but maybe changing the angle would help such as kneeling to get more of wide view
