Okay, I'm just here and I'll make some comments even though I'm not as good as a photographer. Photo Comments: 1. I think this one is good, but it focuses more on the leaf then the apple. 2. Nice, maybe you could have changed the angle a bit.
And the last one is good but maybe less light, still awesome. The rest I didn't have any comments on. All of them are awesome. -mizzle

Hi. I took a photography camp one summer, and I want to repeat some wisdom. Don't take the picture that everyone takes. For me, that was the front of a building. For you, that's a tree. My instructor had me take it from a different angle, and I think that would work well for you. Maybe get up under the tree and shoot up.
Otherwise, very nice.

The first thing I noticed about this set was the washed out color in these. What kind of camera do you use? Try shooting in the highest megapixel mode, or highest picture size on a high color setting. It makes for true colors and stronger natural contrast.
The first two of the apples are okay. In both photos, you have leaves in focus, and while that's a good technique to place something that's not the focus instead of your focal point, it's a little difficult to appreciate this, Kammie. However, don't throw this away! Try to edit a little-- bring out colors, contrast it first, add a little saturation. Try to revive the colors of these a little, Kammie.
The photo of the tree is a little ... eh. I love the colors of fall in it, but it's kind of a dead shot; it's no real focal point in the picture, but the leaves are millions of tiny distractions, haha. The saturation of it kind of gets to me a bit, lol. I don't really like it.
Pumpkins! Try not to put a dead-on shot of subjects, Kamms. You may notice that a lot of beginning photographers do not focus on single subjects, rather subjects that contain multiple points of interest. That's because focusing on something like an pear is a usually translated as blase-- unless there are supporting details, it'll turn out a little dull, you know?
I do really love the one of the green and orange one. That looks so cool.
The photo of all the squashes together is fair, but I think if you had used a close focus setting or something to focus on one squash, it would make it a little easier to determine a focal point.
The pot's okay, too, but, again, don't have your subjects dead in the photo. Try giving an interesting angle to the shot for variation, Kammie.
And corn! Such pretty corn! Good shot, though I wish we could see a bit more of it.
Nice work, dear! Keep it up, and post more soon!

Honestly, I saw the little Excerpt and saw "They aren't very good", or something akin to it, and kind of thought.. Oh no.. well I was going to click on it.. may as well take a peek...
and I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked these.. I think with some minor editing, these could be really good. You have a style with your photos that is very simple, but carries emotion and memories with it.. which is the purpose of photography. I think that with some greater focusing and perhaps some editing (as I mentioned before) these would be excellent. To edit, you can use a simple program. Personally, I just use Windows Live Gallery.. came with my computer, but I can play with the settings that I feel are necessary.. some exposure, contrast, and color changes could really help make these photos into something more.
Oh dear, they're all so beautiful! I kind of wish you made them a bit smaller though, so I take it all in easily but disregarding that, I think you did an amazing job! My favorite was the third one because it looks like the tree is on fire Neat. As Coral mentioned, I do think you could play around with some programs or something and give them some cool, sharp effects. Other than that, really cool!
