Hey! I've been taking pictures alot lately, and thought I could share them with... well, all of you! All critiques welcome!

This is the first Iris to bloom in my backyard.

This is my peach tree in full bloom.

A basic sunset, but one of our more striking ones.


Thanks for viewing!

I love sunsets, and you captured this one really nicely.
I love the contrast with the black outline of the house and the tree, great work.

I also liked the peach tree, you're a great photographer by the looks!
I'd try zooming into just that one pink flower that's in the V of the branch, and have the rest of the flowrs blurred, that would look stricking.

I also like the Iris. The white background, it makes the purple pop.

Wow, very incredible pictures! I love the focus in the flower pictures, especially the peach tree, that's my favorite :) I love how you can see the tiny details in the center of the blossoms.
As for the sunset, the vivid colors work so incredibly well against the silhouettes of the tree and building. You have some amazing scenes to capture. I don't think there's anything that needs to be critiqued in the photos, they're outstanding! Great job

Hey! I'm Music!

1.) I loved this first one; it's my favorite. I just adore the striking image of the proud, vivid purple against the soft and serene green. Great focus. I can see the petal detail perfectly. Love it!

2.) Peach tree was my second favorite. (Perhaps I'm just crazy about flowers- who knows?) Again, the focus was wonderful, as was your subject. Nice job.

3.) Good job on this, too. I love the contrast of the black outlines and the swirls of pink and orange in the evening sky. Haha.

Overall, I think you're a very talented photographer! Keep it up!

Love,
Music. :)

Hi!!

Nice pictures. It's sad that here (Chennai, India) our seasons vary from Summer, hotter summer, and hottest summer with a splash of monsoon rains for about a week.

1. My fave. Love the way it's focused.
2. It's ok. Not one of my faves mainly because I've had a similar one as my wallpaper for about a month. But I love the detail. Gosh I love your camera! And as telina sad, you should try zooming in a little more.
3.Great sunset! Did you edit this picture? If not, WOW!

I have to say, the sunset was beautiful!! I do think that the Iris could have been from a better perspective, but the peach tree was very pretty. it had a good focused foreground and subject, and then a more of a blurry background which gave it a nice affect.

Thank you all for reviewing! The peach tree is still blooming, so I may try again ;)

No, I didn't edit the sunset. Or crop it. Or anything. I just shrunk it so no one would have to side-scroll.

Yeah, my dad's camera rocks!

Thank you all again for your awesome reviews!

(1) Absolutely beautiful. The color of the flower is gorgeous and I love the angle at which you captured it! But, the background is kind of blank...I know this isn't true, but at first glance it looks like the white-gray is a wall. Lol.

(2) This is my favorite! I love the focus on the front flowers and the blurriness of the background flowers. It seems like the pic was made from an upward angle and that there is snow. I LOVE IT :)

(3) The sunset is fantastic! But, I personally don't really like the houses.

VERY GOOD!!!

Oo, very pretty. I especially love the last one. Damn, you captured a good sunset. I also love the peach blossom one. Very beautiful. The purple iris at the top is pretty, too, though I think it could have been a little better. I think the main issue with it is that it's a little dull. With photoshop, or changing the camera settings, it could be gorgeous.

Spring is definitely in the air, and thank goodness for that!

First off, the iris is breathtaking, and I love the fact that it's the first in bloom. Personally, I'm a sucker for irises.

Secondly, the picture of your peach tree is my favorite out of the three. I even disagree with what another person said: I find that the blur of the other blossoms in the background does well for the silhouette.

The sky is brilliantly multicolored in your third picture, and I love the tree popping out from behind.

These are all very beautiful - the flowers especially. The colours are so vibrant and I love how you've made the background less focused (how do you do that *I'm a total noob*?) I think the second picture is my favourite, purely because of the colours. The third is great but I'm less enthusiastic about it than the others.

I love these pictures. I'm not much of an artist so my critiques are less than when I am judging writing, so excuse me for saying this. I would think about taking pictures of other things that outdoors, though that might be your stlye, like I said I have no idea. I would like to see how well you do on monuments, places, etc. Think of things no one, or only a sir few have thought to photograph. Originality is key? YES! Originality IS key.

To be only thirteen, you're a damn good photographer! The focus is perfect, the center is perfect, the scenes are absolutely unsurpassable! Great job!

Hey, could I draw these? I need a few art projects to work on...

Thanks! It might take me about a week to finish the set, but I will have them on here as soon as possible.
