I took these last night!. It's a boardwalk/beach on Lake Erie!. There's 22!.!.!.I think!. No need to comment on every one, of course, but if anyone could just look them over and tell me what you think, I'd really appreciate it!. Helpful criticism and honesty is always welcome! Thanks!.

Nice but you're losing way too much detail in the shadows!. Google "HDR image" and get back out with your tripod!. Bracketing a few exposures would allow you to pull a lot more detail out of the shadows without overexposing the highlights!.

They're good, but they could be even better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

your strongest shots are :

Though on the second one i would edit out the fence!. I like the first one ,because you captured the waves perfectly , i like the second one ,because of the colors and the composition !. And i like the third one because of the way the water looks and i like the tone of it !.

Your weakest shot is the on with the flowers/grass because there was no main point and you didn't know where to look !. Another one is the one with the sky and the green in it ,because it looks over edited and the green is weird and it's way too dark !. Other then that , great job and thanks for the share :) Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was expecting crap but those are great!!

Wow I can't believe that these pictures http://answers!.yahoo!.com/question/index;!.!.!. were also taken by you!.

No offense but the ones in this question (the beach ones) are on a different level and are so much better quality!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love the ones where the waves are crashing!. I always love those!. The others seem a little to dark although the colors are pretty I just can't see past the darkness!. The lighter pictures are great!. They are BEAUTIFUL!. Well that my opinion and I hope that's what you wanted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I hope you don't mind, but I stole the second one!. I'm going to crop it and lighten it up a bit in photoshop!. It'll make a nice desk top wallpaper!. I live in Michigan, and spent a lot of time on Lake Erie as a child!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

WOW! THEY LOOK SO PROFESSIONAL!
I lovelovelove!!! This one:

I think they're amateurish and have poor lighting!. When I take a picture, my secret is to frame it, and before I take the snapshot, I ask myself, "Would this look good in national geographic!?"

also, a better camera might help!.

Good luck!.
