wow! thanks guys! this was actually my first time with this camera..it's my dad's. it's a cannon rebel XTi. I had a photography lesson today, so i took those then. honestly, i quite like that the tree branch is out of focus.hahaThese are nice. What camera were you using?
Only criticisms I have is that the first one is out of focus. Try retaking it, use the same aperture, but focus more to the front of the tree.
For the second one, I would do something about the depth of field. Either use a smaller aperture (doorway more in focus, and detailed), or a larger one (doorway more of an impression)
The third one is nice. It's sharp, and I like the odd angle.
For the fourth one, I would straighten the horizon a bit (maybe ~5 clockwise).
Overall nice job.
Actually, so do I. Makes me wish that photo was taken w/ a Holga, complete w/ square format, light leaks, and everything. Seriously.honestly, i quite like that the tree branch is out of focus. haha
They're not bad, alot of potential in them, but about the tree out of focus... I see a small note right where what used to be a branch(I believe)... you should focus on that... put on a lower f/ stop (aperture... what every you call it) and have the back branch out of focus while the elbow is in focus.... But hey that just me
To be honest with you, I don't like them
To be honest with you, I don't like them
To be honest with you, I don't like them
to be honest with you, that is a pointless comment.
Shecky, what do you think of my pictures? i will respect this guy's personal opinions. maybe he had a bad day. It's thursday here, so maybe he's bummed it's not friday.

thanks for all the great comments for a first timer.
I think that people will say anything these days. I'll be one who will tell you that each of the photos lacks any real technical ability on your part. Be it your first shots fine, but they do. They're flat for one. Your attempt to make something out of nothing by just converting to b&w with the desaturate command does not work here or in any photo really. The first one in my opinion was a mistake that you're attempting to pull off by calling it abstract. Others called it good because it's abstract. There is abstract and there is error. The second photo lacks any focal point. What are you trying to convey? Really, this is the stuff I see on appraisals for homes where they're trying to just prove there is a wall/window there. Photo three, I don't get it. It's nice to see that you changed your POV, but I still don't get it. Photo four, it is slanted for one, it lacks a focal point but it's one of the stronger ones I guess. I mean, at least our eyes are led somewhere, even if it's to a pack of boring homes with little to no depth.
Sorry, but I find your shots to be illustrative of test shots with someone's camera. Do you have potential? Probably, anyone with a digital camera does these days. I just don't see it here. Go outside and start over. Don't give up, just shoot more.
Some of the most moving and inspiring images are out of focus and 'poorly' composed they are not housed in cosy, whispery, coffee sipping galleries....they are above that
my opinion; they don't really float my boat. To me, they look like they were taken just because they might look alright, then converted to greyscale without much real emotion. I think they do have potential; maybe increase the contrast a bit. That all said, for a first timer, they are pretty good!
Just a quick job on the Rock Path one. What do you reckon?
