Are these good pictures??

Question: Are these good pictures!?!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

As a professional artist and photographer, I would tell you to consider branching out on your subject matter!. Too many people take pictures of flowers!. If you're looking to sell stock images to photo catalogs, chances are someone else has taken pictures of the same flowers, better than you (not you personally, just in general when something's been photographed a billion times chances are yours won't be the best or most original)!.

I would also suggest thinking about post-production less (photoshop) and your initial photo more!. If you start with a great photo, you'll have to do little or nothing to it later on!. When taking a picture, consider composition (where things are placed in relation to each other and the edges of the frame) - juxtaposition and balance are key factors in all good photography!. Balance also relates to color, light, and darkness!.

I enjoyed the two last pictures the most (the handstand boy and the girl)!. I like handstand kid because the material's different and the reflection of the palm trees is interesting!. I think the girl is the best photo!. The girl's tilted face and the bar in front of her form a diagonal line that creates an interesting sense of space, and the muted color palette is very appealing!. You do have talent - sorry to come down so hard on the flower pictures!. Keep taking pictures, and good luck! Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your Idea's behind the pictures are moving!. My critique is, are you trying to go for the double exposure if you are I'm not sure if you want me to look at the foreground picture or the background picture!. also the pictures of the flowers are a little hard to focus on, and the rose one is a really dark picture while your subject is dark as well!. The way you can make your picture's more focus is if you have a digital Macro setting on your camera!. Like I said you have great idea's behind your picture's I think you just need to understand how your camera work's :) I really like the one with last one with the little girl and the playground one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1-I like this one, it's a nice group shot!. Group shots are hard to shoot and make interesting, but this is very nice!. BUT get rid of the god awful selective color and keep the whole thing in color!.
2-I don't like this one!. It's too busy!.
3-Blurry!. A good rule of thumb, if a photo is blurry, delete it!. No matter how good the rest of it may be!.
4-Nice idea, but it's blurry!. And whatever is in the background is distracting!. Definitely crop that out!.
5-Poor lighting!. One flower is over-exposed (flash is evil!.!.!.!.dont ever use it, ESPECIALLY for up-close shots) and the other one is too dark!.
6-This one's pretty good!. I like the angle and the shape and color of the flowers!. A little cropping could improve the overall composition though!.
7-This is cool!. The subject is interesting enough!.!.!.!.!.you didn't need the reflection effect, it just distracts away from the focus of your photo!. And you cut off his foot!.!.!.but that's no biggie, next time you'll get it!.
8-This is very cute!. It needs a good crop though!. Other than the it's great!. Good composition, focus and lighting!. I like it!. A color boost of her beautiful eyes would help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i love them(: especially the second and first one!.
though i have on question!.
how do you get a black and white picture to how color in some parts!?
that looks awesome and i want to try doing it (:
but i love your ideas! they are very creative!.
a lot of people complain that they want to be photographers but they dont have anything interesting to take pictures of where they live!.
but its not about where you live and what you dont have!.
its about what you can make!. (:
amazing pictures can come out of even the most boring, plain place!.
so i think it great that you have a lot creativty(:
keep on taking pictures!:]Www@QuestionHome@Com
