Question: Rate my photos, constructive criticism welcome! What do you think!?
What do you think of my pictures!? Do I have talent or do I suck!? How can I improve and what do I keep doing!? And I know they're not artistic, it's more photo journalism, but that's what I want to do!.!.!.

Your bird images are great but could be improved by better cropping on #7 and watching blown out backgrounds on #6!. That flowers focus is really too soft and the dogs nose is too soft on # 5, but 1 & 4 are excellent!.

So yes, you have talent, but it does need to be developed a bit more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You must be Australian =) I love the pictures of the little blue heeler!. I think these are the strongest in your set!. I like the way you've framed your shots but if you can i'd give it a bit more contrast!.

The Kookaburra is good but maybe next time try different way s of cropping the image, possibly just taking a close up of certain features!.

The coloured rose is stronger than your black and white because you've lost some detail in converting it!. The petals need to have more contrast!. If you've got photoshop you can burn in the details with a soft edged brush (using the dodge and burn tool)

As for your rosella pictures, they look good to but I think your fill in flash could benefit from being a little bit more subtle!.

Overall you've done a great job!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Woah the blue on the kookaburra looks coolWww@QuestionHome@Com

interesting pictures, good job!. i hope you can find these comments helpful!. the first photo, i like it, but i think the angle could have made a big difference in the outcome!. see how the bird is sitting parallel to the tree!? it seems liek the bird is blending in with the tree (if you understand that cool, if not, sorry!.!.xD) creating a contrast between the tree and the bird would bring more focus to the bird!. i'm split on the b&w rose photo!. i like that its simple but again, i think the angle could be better!. i feel like im staring at the bottom couple of petals!. also, the contrast (b&w) shoudl be greater!. at the moment, the whole picture looks like one blur!. i like the colored version more!. the dog ones are relaxing and candid!. i think theyre good!. and for the blindingly bright bird, i think the first one is too busy!. because the bird has a lot of green, and it's sitting in front of a lot of green leaves, there is a sense of business!. overall picture is too bright!. consider editing the picture so that the background is a little dimmer, especially the sky!. see if it looks better if you blur the leaves on the left side a little too!. i think this will soften the picture so its not like screaming bright colors!. the second one has great focus, background, but again, since the bird is so bright, the sky is overwhelming!. it almost looks like its green screened!. see if you can take the focus away from the sky!.
