Got out in the woods with my CoolPix a couple days ago. Enjoy.

I really like them.
My only qualm is with the first one. It seems to be taken at a odd angle for no apparent reason.

The rest of them are amazing with the closeness and the singularity of focus.

1) I agree here that the angle is a little overdone and severe. I don't think it was necessary for this photo, which would have been pretty without the added distraction of a huge tilt such as the one you've given here. I think there are very few cases in which an artistic tilt is merited, and in my opinion this isn't one of them! However, that doesn't make it a bad photo. I do like the contrast between the rock and the water.

2) This is nice. I am a little distracted by the berries in the center, which are out of focus (though I notice you have nice crisp focus on the berries in the background). Also, your light here is a little blue because of the low level of lighting available when you took this shot. If your camera has a manual adjustment for this, I would love to see you add a little red before you shoot something like this.

3) This is a little dark, and as a result it doesn't quite draw the eye. There is no sharp contrast to pull you to any specific part of the photograph, and so it ends up just feeling like static. Not my least favorite, because I think you had a good idea here, it just didn't execute well.

4) I like this one the best. Your focus here is very crisp and the lighting very sharp. Well done. The only thing I would caution you on is, again, that artistic tilt. It works well in this photo, because it impacts only the background, but had your subject been angle-sensitive it very well might have ruined the photo.

Good work!
