Hello, again! I was just flipping through old pictures on my computer and found a few from MOTNHS ago that I meant to post... And then promptly forgot about. :wink:

As always, I'd love your comments, especially critique/criticisms!

Hey there! :] Out of curiosity, what kind of camera were these taken with? If you don't remember it's totally okay, since it's been awhile. Anyway, I'm SporkPunk and I'll attempt to give this a review. I can't guarantee much for my technical stuff; I'm only in a high school photo class. :p

1.
Oh, a flower photo. (Since there are a billion of these, you have to make the photo
all the more interesting.) While I like the the lighting and the color, I'm not much for the angle.
I think maybe if you get the flower or the basket from an different angle, this photo
could be quite great. But I still love this one because it reminds me of spring and summer and
those are my favorite seasons.

2. This one caught my interest. I like the subject and the angle very much.
I think it could look even cooler if you oh focused on the eye. While it shows good
depth of field as it is, the eye focus might improve on the aesthetic, or maybe just make it
look neater. :P

3. Hm. A moon photo. Also done a lot, which means that there needs to be something compelling
about the image. And, unfortunately, that's not here. It's kind of just a sea of black with a tiny moon.
I think if there's something else in the photo to show depth of field it would definitely improve a lot.
As it is, it doesn't really catch my interest.

4. I like this, you captured the textures wonderfully. But the straight-on angle makes the photo less interesting.
Maybe try different angles to see what you come up with and you might like it more :P

5. Cute! I like this one a lot, the colors are lovely. However, that straight-on angle keeps this photo from being super-amazing. I could see this as an editorial photo though; it looks almost professional. :D

6. I like the other object in this one. But that overwhelming black kind of swallows up your subjects, which isn't good.

7. This one is also cute! I like how you can see smudges on the glass. But the glare on the glass kind of bothers me. Other than that, I really like this photo! :D

8. This one is my favorite. Hands down. I love the subject, the lighting, the composition---yeah! I really like it.

Hope I helped a bit!

hey phantom.
i planned to do a quick review.

1st:i love the camera's angle. and the flower, as to how it contrasts almost everything. there's something about it that caught my attention, probably because it was too bright. spring, eh?
2nd:this is cool. a little creepy and interesting. for a while, i thought if it could be real or not. :D
3rd:okay, the moon in a night sky. pretty, but not that compelling. not that dull, but not interesting either.
4th:i love how i was scrolling down seeing nothing but blue, and then spotting something orange. again, contrast. like you, i don't know if i like it or not.
5th:the cat. the cat. instant favorite.
6th:i remember the 3rd pic. the black is disturbing, and the objects are not seen very well. maybe try a different angle.
7th:another cat! he(or a she, or whatever..i don't mind using "it") is beautiful. kind of interesting, especially with the glass and all. again, instant fave.
8th:aww. another cat. i love the emotion--innocence and curiosity. lovely.

so far, these are great. keep them up.
You've got the key to my heart..but have you forgotten about a duplicate?
Sorry. I've already given it to someone else.
