For your age and experience level!. I thought your photos are nice!. They are in focus and of interesting subjects!. And photographers know they have to get up early for the lovely morning light, which you did, so you are showing good initiative!. Bare winter branches are one of my favorite subjects, I am glad you like them as well!.

What you are lacking is technical expertise and artistic development!. Have you read your camera manual!? Read it a lot to understand what the different controls are and what they do, and how they affect your image!. If there are terms you don't understand, get a book on beginning photography!. The book, "Digital Photography For Dummies" is good, and you don't have to be a dummy to read and get a lot from it!. Go to www!.kodak!.com and read their beginning photographer tutorials and tips!. Betterphoto!.com is another great site!.

Look at photography magazines, "Popular Photography" is great for newcomers to the hobby!. "National Geographic", while not a photography magazine, contains some of the best images in the world!. Look at them, pay attention to the lighting and shadows, and the point of view, what is in the picture and how does it help tell about the subject!. Look at the light every day at different times!. Take pictures of the same thing at different times of day!. Notice how the light and shadows change, and how that changes the look and mood of your image!.

Take a class at school, if possible!. If your school doesn't have photography, then take art, the background is the same and they use the same set of basic skills in color, light and composition!. You may have a teacher or family member who is a hobby photographer!. Most people would be happy to mentor a young aspiring photographer!. Having feedback is valuable to your growth!.

As your knowledge grows, be sure to practice and shoot a lot!. As you learn more and your skill grows, your images will get better and better!. Have fun, photography is a great hobby that you can enjoy for life!. Best wishes!Www@QuestionHome@Com

One thing that you have going for you is your young age!. Many young people sometimes see things differently than adults!. They will compose their shots by looking beyond basic rules in photography, like rule or thirds, etc!. Young people also are very creative and that shows in their work!.

I like the use of the beads!. Many of your shots remind me of the fronts of greeting cards!.

Keep up the good work!. Thanks for sharing!Www@QuestionHome@Com
