Question: Do i take pretty good ocean pics!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The ocean is pretty!. But pretty is not enough to carry a good image!. Your pictures have no subject!. There is nothing for the eye to rest on at all!. In one, there is a distracting bit of roof on the right side!. In the first two, the horizon is not level, and they look rather noisy and out of focus!.
If photography is an interest for you, start learning some of the basics!. take a class, or get a couple of books on beginning photography!. Learn about composition in particular and how to use it to make better photos!. Look at great photos in magazines and on professional websites!. Study the lighting and how the subject is arranged within the image!. If the ocean is fascinating to you, look at lots of seascapes, then try to duplicate your favorites in your own world!.
Next trip to the beach, find a subject smaller than the entire ocean to focus on!. A tree!. beach chair, lifeguard stand, people, seashells, birds, something!. Compose your picture to make the subject stand out, and let the ocean be your backdrop!. You will find your image will ultimately be more interesting because it has a focal point!. Just keep experimenting and learning and have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Rather than "yes" you and hope for ten points, I'll try to help you!. The majority of the images have no focal point!.!.!.that is a main subject where the eyes come to rest!. While the ocean is beautiful, it usually serves mainly as a backdrop to a subject!. The focus is also poor!. The last image is your best, but again, soft focus!. Since you seem enthused enough I would hope that you continue to take pictures and try to learn what creates good composition!.

I like the fourth one best!. They are pretty good, but I think they can be a little more focused and maybe try some other angles!.
I'd love your feedback too!
