Yes, keep at it!.

You have an eye for natural beauty, but you need to get a few techniques down!. I enjoy the vibrant, contrasting colors in these shots, but you should pay more attention to your composition!. I think from other answers you can tell what is wrong, but I think that for a 13 year old you have great potential!.

Consider researching some techniques!. Maybe an eCourse is for you; they're a great, and sometimes free, way to learn the vital skills every photographer needs!. I would recommend one from the photographer Al Sanchez!.!.!. its free and really easy to use!. I know you'll learn a lot from it, and, if you like it and are serious about photography, there's a more advanced eBook available!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want to do it for a living, then its important to recognize and be aware of what is in your frame at all times!.

In the first a two thirs of the frame is almost or pure black without any information, which detracts from the sky, the subject, without adding anything to the image!. The sky with the clouds and even the outlines of the trees is far more interesting than a barely visible view of your yard and your neighbors houses!.

In the second image there's an unaesthetic telephone wire hanging in the middle image!.

The third is getting close, but either the tree in the bottom is in your picture or it isn't!. As it is it looks like your not sure!.

Keep at it, practice, and learn from your mistakes, and look at all the pictures you can!. Join flickr, take a class!. You learn by doing, and having fun, but always searching for a way to make great images!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For your age you are doing very well!. To be a pro you need passion for photography, dedication, lots of patience, and a good eye!.

Do you have a SLR or a DSLR!? or are these taken with a point and shoot!? It is hard to judge the photo's without knowing exactly what you are working with!.

I suggest taking some classes and work on framing your shots a little more as well as some other techniques!. I would also suggest joining Flickr and looking at other people's work and soliciting feedback and your photo's!.

Best of luck to you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
