I was just messing around with my new (well, second hand) camera and decided to take some wildlife and outdoor pictures.
Please excuse the fail.

Spider's Secret: Well like I said with your piece of poetry, I really like this picture. I like the color, and the whole web-over-the-keyhole image in general. I usually complain when a picture doesn't have a particular focus, but on this one I really won't.

Lady on a Leaf: This was a good picture also; I love any pictures that just make greens look fresh and crisp like this. And of course the lady bug's cute. Again, not really anything to complain about!

Very nice! You captured the light perfectly in both pictures.

Seriously I really like both of these pictures! ( I would make these pictures into my computer wallpaper *especially the Spiders Secret*)

Keep up the good work,

Lovely photography. The blue tint of the light makes it seem very early-morningish. I could tell you how to change this tint so it would seem like a photo taken at high noon, but I think you'd prefer to keep it this way.
About the only things I had problems with were:
1) I couldn't see the spider! D:
2) I know it's a keyhole, but it took me a while to recognize it since I couldn't see the whole shape. next time, pull back a few centimeters.

Keep snapping!

Hi Crimsona!

These are both wonderful shots! You definitely have an eye for this sort of thing. However, if I may make a few suggestions?

The Spiders Secret: I love the blue tint to this one, and I think the idea behind it is fantastic. I'm assuming that this is a keyhole, yes? It does seem to be missing something though - I think with the cobwebs present, it would be interesting to see a spider sitting on the web. I realize that spiders aren't very cooperative so this may be hard to accomplish, but it's simply a suggestion for if you ever happen across a spider at this particular keyhole. Or any keyhole. Also, try not to center your subject so much. I do like how it's not exactly a head-on shot, but I think with a bit of cropping, it could made even more interesting to look at. Other than that though, I do enjoy this shot.

A Lady on a Leaf: This is my favorite of the two. I love how your subject is so clearly in focus while the background is blurred out. However, again with the centering your subject. Try cropping the photo so that the ladybug sits closer to one of the corners of the image. It isn't completely centered as it is though, so it has that going for it. Otherwise, I do love this picture. Well done!

Great shots!

I remember seeing the first one somewhere before... Was that your poem - Spider's Secret?
Anyways, this is a really good picture for it, great job picking. ;)

The second one is also really good but, again, your camera's coloration seems to be a bit off. Like there's a slight blue haze over it. Just do some editing magic and you should be able to fix it :)

Great job!

Keep photographing,

The Spider's Secret: I love how the web over the keyhole is like you're blocking a secret that's in a journal or something from someone! That's what it reminds me of. This one's my personal favourite!

A Lady On A Leaf: I like this one too, but it looks like you took a picture of it when evening approached. I think if you edited it, it would look a bit... brighter. I still like this picture!

Good job and keep up the good work!
