Hey, I'm not much of a photographer, but I hope you enjoy these anyways. The girl is me when I was younger. I found these deep in the files on my computer, thought they were cool, and decided to edit them. So the credit for the raw photos goes to my mom or who ever took them.

If you like any of them, which is your favorite?

Hey!
I really like these. I absolutely stink at photo editing so I think these are really cool ^.^
But something about the first one, I don't like. I think that maybe there's too much going on. I think the way that the girl is blending into the sunset is very interesting and definitely cool looking, but I think that it just makes the picture, overall, look a little confusing.

I think the second picture could be my favorite :3 it's very pretty and I really like it. I also like how you can see a picture in the leaves. It's subtle and it looks very cute and it makes the overall picture look serene and beautiful. It's not too noticeable, that it makes the picture confusing, but it's not so dim that you can't see it. It's perfect and I think it looks very good.

The third and fourth are so cute! I like the fourth one the second best. It's definitely cute. I love how the people are the only things colored, and the pink pants the little girl is wearing really pop and make the picture look so cool. They're so cute :3

Keep up the good work!

These are lovely =] I'm usually a photography and art stickler but these are beautiful. The first one got me right away, perfect coloring. The one that that I wasn't sold on was the second one. In a photo it's cut into perfect squares or rectangles, depending on the length and width of the shot, and if you examine each of those sections seperately, you'll notice that there isn't much going on in a few of them. But other than that it's great. Great work =]

I was confused by the surrealism of the first, and the second and third ones seemed (to me) that they would have been better left untouched. The fourth one is definitely the best: I love it!
*likes*
Anyways, the "Embrace it" words kind of go off the edge on the left, but that's easily fixable. Also, the couple that has their back turned to the camera don't seem so important. Maybe you could make them greyscale like the rest of the picture? I like that you left the guy in the background with color; he just looks connected to the girl in some way.

Hey! Sorry for my lateness!!

Anyway, my first impression of these was WOW. Wow, this girl is a good photographer. I couldn't believe that you actually took these pics; i thought you just edited them. So major props on that. I think the little girls look beautiful!

The first is really cool! I absolutely love the colors; the glow of the shirt is really pretty and it goes great with the tribal-ish bandana, i think. The whole picture just looks great, and wonderful lighting.

#2 is pretty plain, pics of flowers are generally pretty simple. I like the way you added the abstract designs on the leaves, it really adds to it. I love the font, and the embossing you did with it, but I really didn't get the words. It's a little weird to me to think of the flower speaking them.

#3 is cute, and the girl is really interesting. My eyes are kind of drawn to her. The editing you did in the sky was a nice touch, but I think you could've done better with it. The blue is just kind of scribbled in, and it looks kind of skippy and choppy when it could be smoother.

I love the motion in the last pic! The girl is adorable, and the colors really pop. Her expression is really drawing me in, as well. I wish you would've greyed out the people in the background so they are not drawing any attention to themselves. They should be part of the background. Again, I'm not really fond of the words at the bottom. I generally don't like words in pictures though, so it's really just me. Also, the words look a bit squished, like they are barely fitting into the picture. However, I do love the font!

Overall, gorgeous pics! My favorites have to be numbers 1 and 4 just because of how much I love the colors <3
Keep it up! Keep posting!!

Hello there! It's nice to meet you here. I love your work

1 - First of all, this is my most favorite of all your photos, the surrealism of the girl seems to fit in very nicely, I love the focus you place on the girl. The only think I don't find very appealing though is that the background seems to be very dark around the girl. BUT STILL! A great shot from you.
2 - I love the angle you placed for this shot, the flower is well emphasized, the font you picked for the quote is really nice to. I find the reflection of other plants in the leaves a bit too distracting but you have the concept of this photo very well made.
3 - I LOVE THIS! The scribbly blue thing in the background really sets the great mood with the photo, they co-exist in a very harmonious manner. This is a great shot, it really emphasizes the beauty and innocence of the girl and the happy setting you placed on this. Great photo!
4 - This is a great shot, the black and white back ground really lets you focus on the people around, but I think this seems very easy to pull off, although you did catch her in a really great time, so good work on that!

Overall:
concept - 5/5
Edits - 4.5/5
Awesomeness - 6/5

I hope this helps you, have a nice time okay? <3

Well... These are all kind of odd.

I like the first and second the best.
1. The first because I love the way you have yourself faded into the background of jungle and sunset. It's really kind of cool :)
2. It's just so plain and then your words are like, 'look at me! I make this picture awesome!'. It's quite nice ;)

Overall pretty good job.

Keep photographing/editing,

i like all of them. i'm not really a photographer but i believe art is in my blood. =) haha
for me the best picture you had was the third one.
the girl smiles as she fed those birds (if i'm not mistaking)
haha. she's so natural. no acting
the smile was not fake
and the beauty of the nature and the love the girl had was so lovely.
i love it!
=)

They were all nice. You have an interesting style, and I like it(: My favorite picture had to be the third, it told a story and had good quality.

Picture 1: Obviously you used some editing software to do this. Personally, I like natural photos.

2: This one is good but the little caption is kind of unnessecary and doesn't fit the picture well.

3: Again, my favorite. The little swirls around the trees in the background are nice. Not my style. But I'll give you props, they make the picture better(

4: This one is okay. Not my favorite. I like the black and white(:

Good job! Keep doing photography!

Hey there!

Okay, sooooo...

The first picture was kind of cool, and I liked how real I looked, although it seemed a little strange. But if it's your style, then I'm cool with that. :)

I didn't really like the second one. It was a good picture, but the caption kind of detracts from that, and it doesn't seem to make much sense.

I like the third one the best. I think the thing in the background really makes the picture pop.

The fourth one was kind of cool, because the people were the only things with color, but I didn't get the caption again.

I think overall you're a pretty good photographer, but I think you should steer clear of captions, unless it goes with the picture. Nice job though. :)

Hey there :) I loved your third picture,i think the hearts in the sky blend in so well in the picture and it gives it a really cool magical feeling. The frst picture is great but I think you should make the background more blurry so the girl can stand out more.

Wow. These are really cute! I love the second picture. The background (the flower) and the saying (can you hear me?) is exceptional! I love the font you use and how the light reflects off of the plant! It's amazing, awesome job and keep it up!
