P.S The reason the fish picture is edited so much is because you could barely see the fish so I fiddled around with the colours.
P.P.S Please ignore the text on the plane photograph
A hero isn’t defined by winning. Loads of heroes die in the effort. Most of them never get any recognition. No, a hero is just somebody who does the right thing when it would be far, far easier to do nothing.

Hey there! Nice shots!
I think that there are only about two or three thoughts I had on these, more stylistic/basic ideas than specific nitpicks in the pictures themselves.

First of all, I'd be wary of over-editing. There were edits in all of your pictures that kind of irked me, and honestly, natural pictures often look better. Watch your color saturation and blur effects, and maybe work on focusing the camera a bit better in general.

Second, you might consider working on your framing. You use the rule of thirds pretty well and you position things well, but the framing itself throws the picture off. Try making it a bit tighter, like it was made to cut off there. Watch angles and lines and center the picture around it like that.

Overall, nice job! Let me know if you have any questions or anything, and I'd be glad to answer them!

I liked them! now I'm no photography critic, but I was just giving you my opinion.. and also the last one reminded me of willy wonka and the chocolate factory, I don't know why, it just does. My favorite is the fishy one lol.. :-)

Hey there! I think all photographers go through this over-editing phase, and it's sort of an important phase to go through because once you outgrow it, you'll be an editing pro. Persephoneia said it perfectly -- you should be wary of overediting. Sometimes images are so overedited that the quality of the photograph increases significantly. My tip is not to incorporate any colors that aren't found in nature.

I like the airplane one, but see how the sky is almost cyan? I can see where you came from with the fish one. It might help to edit just the fish part of the image, not the pond and the leaves. The Lego one is definitely my favorite. I am very fond of shoe photos, and I like this one, but the color editing threw me off a bit.

Good job and good luck!
