I decided to take some photos today of random things and can you please judge them? I wrote visual art on the bottom, thats what I want to call it if I am any good at this.

You did this in one day? Very, very good. You should pursue this; you have talent.

I am with Don H on this one. The arches and the tress were your best work of them all. Good composition tells me you have an eye for patterns and such. The fact that you did close-ups and others as well tells me you have the capability to see things from various aspects which is good to have as a photographer. Study the good ones and think about what makes them so good. Compare them to the out of focus ones and you will get what so many are speaking of here.
The deer shot had the potential to be a really cutesy type of pic but I assume you were shooting on fully auto and the lighting caused your camera to select a slower shutter speed which caused the blurr due to hand shake. You may have also zoomed in on them and the more you zoom in on something the steadier the hand you have to have or switch to a higher shutter speed.
Study your camera's manual and see what other settings are available. You will open a whole new world of creativity when you can learn to manipulate the controls some. Good luck and keep following your aspirations. Read lots of books, study lots of photographs and go for it. Everyone has to start somewhere.

You were really busy today! That seems like a varied portfolio for one day!
You have some exposure and focus problems. The spiral stairs are out of focus, delete that one. A couple of the others looked soft, too, the deer, for one. Several have no subject or point, the leaves and the road picture (which is also very washed out)
The child with the pine cone wasn't bad, but could have been better composed to remove the distracting background. Also the posing and camera angle weren't too good. A two year old won't mind the double chin effect, but Aunt Millie won't be too happy that you made her look like a turkey! The arches were kinda neat, but had some exposure problems in blown highlights and blocked shadows. To be fair, that looked like difficult lighting. My favorite was the stately trees, good job of composition and capturing the texture of the bark.
Get some books on beginning photography and art. Study your camera manual, learn what the settings do to affect your pictures. Look at magazines and websites and try to see how a picture was made and what makes it a good image as opposed to a snapshot. (Hint, it's mostly composition, lighting, and depth of field.) Pick a few images you really like, then try to re-create them in your world. Pay attention to details and lighting. Watch how light changes through the day. Try to shoot early in the morning and late afternoon.
Photography is a fun hobby. Enjoy!

You definitely have a good start. Just like anything, the more you do it, the better you get. You have the idea, I think you need to become more familiar with your camera and its settings, i.e. the aperture.
Also, your eye is good, more research on composition and negative/positive space would only make you an even better photographer.
Keep it up, try so more, do a little studying.

They are all relatively good but i would say that composition is the thing you need to work on most. Usually you don't want your primary subject in the center of the frame. The rule of thirds is a great thing to follow. By dividing your frame into three sections vertical and horizontal you can get better composition. Place you horizon on one of the thirds not in the center on the frame.

While I was unimpressed with most of them, the third one (arches) and the last one (trees) were pretty good. Keep it up, and practice alot. There are some focus problems especially in the picture of the spiral stairs. That and the composition points that folks have already mentioned would greatly improve your work.

I liked all but the first two. You have a very good eye. Looks like the Carolinas ?

Colour not contrast,not sharp images,bad quailties of printing, if I was a judges, you won't have a chance to get the award of prizes,because I have two photography titles for Bachelor of Arts in Photography of London and New York almost twenty three years of experiences in Photography.
