Ok, so I'm really into photography and I've been doing it for a while. Anyways I would really like to receive from feedback composition and lighting wise on my photos. Thanks. Also I do edit my photos but I don't heavily edit them or try too. Also I made them a bit smaller than they actually are and I do have a deviantart account.
First of all, let me just say wow. These are truly amazing. What type of camera are you using?
Photo One: I like this picture a lot, the whiteness of the feather contrasts amazingly against the brown of the leaves and the ground. Mother Nature is hard at work making things naturally beautiful I see. I noticed that you have a panning type of clarity. Ah, I'm probably not making any sense. I mean the detail is more in the middle than around the edges. Some photographs have this weird thing where the amount of detail will move around before snapping the picture. This happens with my digital sometimes.
Anyway, that long and scattered explanation was only so I could say this: If you did this on purpose, where you placed your detail, then that's great; I love it. But if you did not do it on purpose, or don't know how to control it, be careful because this can mess up otherwise good photos.
Photo Two: This photo looks very - and I find the more I use this word the more I hate it - vintage. Really, I've used that word at least two other times today. I use it only for a lack of another word. I apologize. I do like it though. Is that an umbrella being held up to the sun?
I've a few questions. Is that your hand holding up the umbrella or did someone else hold it while you snapped the photo. If it is your hand how did you take such a photo with only one hand? Just some questions that popped up when I looked at this.
Photo Three: I really like the colors in the picture but it is not my favorite. I just don't fancy flower pictures as much. I've seen too many. I also see the same detail spotting as the first picture but I refuse to ramble on about it so to save time see photo review number one. I don't expect you to read that same thing over again though.
Photo Four: This is by far my favorite photograph of the four you posted. Simplicity often does it for me when it comes to photo graphs.I like the way the weeds - ferns, grass, flowers... I don't know what to call it. - stand out against the fence. I don't see the same detail scrolling as in the first and third pictures.
The lighting in this picture is also very fantastic. You mention in the description that it's sunset and I think that must be the reason why the lighting is perfect. I have no complaints at all.
Well all your photos are very amazing and I would love to see more. Keep snapping.
Hi there! I just want to start off by saying I enjoyed looking at your photos!
So here goes: Photo #1 This one, in my opinion, was the weakest of them all. I can see you're focusing on the piece of fluff in the middle, but it's kind of a busy picture. Around the fluff you have: leaves, sticks, pebbles, dirt. You have a lot of things going in the background which makes it kind of hard for the eye to locate the emphasis. If this was a posed shot than you probably should've laid off the background and focused more on the fluff. But if this was an 'on the fly, I just saw a piece of fluff and I want to take a picture' it's okay. It's not a bad picture, just a little busy.
Photo #2 This one was my absolute favorite. I like the way the umbrella is kind of like a silhouette against the sunshine. It reminds me of those days when it's raining out, but the sun is still trying to find its way through the clouds. They are the most beautiful days (at least I think so) and I'm glad that you were able to capture this! Well, if that's not really when you took this picture, oh well. That's just what I think about it.
Photo #3 This picture is also wuite pretty and I enjoy looking at it. As a daughter of a mother whose both an artist and an avid gardener, I quite enjoy flowes and plants. This picture is very clear and beautiful. I like how in the front of it all, you see the flower. You notice that one petal is folded over, showing it's not perfect. And then you look to the left and right and see the other flowers, all bent to different sides, but still the same as the first. And then you look even deeper into the photo and you see a bush.
This has great depth and layering (if layering is even something you could say about photography). When I look at this, I can't just look at the flower, I have to take it all in. Great job on this one!
Photo #4 I just want to make a tiny suggestion based off the name you gave this picture. Since you titled it 'sunset' you probably should've set it up so the weeds were facing the sun or something. This picture is great, but based off the title, I think it would've been better if you showed us the sun. Maybe not directly, but you could've showed us part of the sky, or the shadows of the weeds on the ground, or something along those lines.
I really hope this was helpful to you! I've not a photographer, but like I said before, my mom's an artist so I've come to appreciate all kinds of art. Don't stop taking pictures!
