I think you could work on composition!. Your shots tend to look a little flat and static, and would be helped by composing to make your subject stand out more or using something to frame the subject, and using picture elements to lead the eye into the picture!. The Rock on the Range shot is particularly formless and could really use something like an interesting person in the foreground to give it focus!. Love Ducks is a nice shot but would have been better if you had not chopped off the near duck's tail!. Or, try cropping the picture to similarly cut the second duck and lose some of the empty space!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The monitor I am on isn't the greatest, but those pictures are great! They are even my style!! I really like the "rock on the range" pic!. The dark cloud above them make it perfect!.

My only suggestion would be for the "cool kids" pic!. I would say get some better looking subjects!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think your pitures are really good!
Maybe try some really cool angles though!.
Strange angles seem to really make a picture cool

Firstly, I would like to say that you have a great eye for this stuff! I do have a couple suggestions for you!.

Picture 1: I really like how the kids are not smiling, believe it or not!. The background is great!. The only thing that I would have done differently is move the camera down!. I've learned that when you cut off half of someone's legs, pictures turn out worse, so try to keep the feet in there! also, the boys in the picture are the subject, so you want them to be the main focus!. Because they are so far down in the photo, the first thing your eyes go to is the background!.

Picture 2: Very cute! Love the concept!. With this one, however, you could have zoomed in a little bit more!. I do like how the girl is off to the side of the photo though!. Unlike the last photo, your eye goes directly to the subject, even though she is not centered!.

Picture 3: I like what you are trying to get at, but this is probably my least favorite of these pictures!. I think you should try to get above the girl more, and get a little bit more of her face in!.

Picture 4: Love it! In this one, I would not have zoomed in quite so far!.

Picture 5: My favorite!.!.!.don't change a thing!

Picture 6: Though I am not a fan of this concept, you did very well photographing it! The background is pleasing, and the subject catches your attention first!. Good job!

Picture 7: Another of my favorites! The cloud cover thing is amazing!Www@QuestionHome@Com
