Ooh. Very pretty. ^^

1) I like the angle. You could, however, have moved the scraper to the left a little. Rule of thirds and all that. The rule of thirds (in case you havrn't heard) is where you divide your photo into ninr boxes, or into thirds both horizantally and vertically. There's a very helpful wikipedia page on it. :)

2) Aww! So cute! It's a little too blurry, though.

3) I love the concept and composition. Amazing.

4) Eh, so-so. It's not bad, just there's nothing in this photo that really makes it stand out.

5) Same comment as 4, except I like the angle better in this one.

Overall, good job. :D

These are some really good pictures you've have taken.

1. I love how you've manage to catch the sun on the edge of the skyscraper
2. This is a nice picture. I cannot work out if I like the blurred object in the background or not- the picutre is warming on me the more times I look at it though.
3. There's nothing that majorly stands out on this but the idea of it is great and how you've portrayed it in the picture.
4. A weird one for me personally because although I'm assuming the acorn is suppose to be the subject. It's the sharpness of the grass blades and the brilliant colours that attract me. I feel the acron is lost in this picture and it doesn't really stand out.
5. The next one is much better, the angle works and with the background blurred, the acron, makes a bigger impression- it stands out more.

I think you've done a great job! :D

These are some very nice pictures, but my favorites are the first one and the third one.
1. I like the angle and how the sun is glinting off of the edge of the skyscraper.
2. I think that the way you made the two cows and how they were blurry and not so much was cool, but the background one kind of took away from the horeground. Just my opinion.
3. This one can have a lot of different meanings, and I like it for its boldness.
4. I like the how you made sure to have a background in this one and not just a blue sky.
5. The grass in front of the pine cone thingy was slightly distracting for me.

Keep up the good work!

Hey, GPS here!

1) I like this, but I think if you had gone to the left some it would have looked better.
2) This one is oddly amusing to me. I have no idea why. Don't mind my insanity.
3) This is my favorite. I've never seen someone take a picture of one of those medication bottles, so it's unique. I love the angle and title as well.
4) It's cool, but I think the pinecone is a bit blurry.
5) This one is my second favorite. I love the angle, and seeing the tree in the background.

That's all I have to say!

Happy YWSing!

Hey emotion_less :)

Just thought I would get some of my opinions in! lol

1 - I love the concept behind this photograph and how you are trying to look for interesting angles but there are a few things in this photograph that aren't working well together and thus creating mess within the photograph. Now usually I quite like solar flares (which is where the sun hits your lens) but here it kind of reflects off the building and creates this distraction for the eye. Plus it makes the top right of your photo very over exposed. I think you should have zoomed in a little further to cut off the part of the building at the bottom of the photo. It just seems to clutter up frame a bit. Basically you need to think about your composition a little more and about how to lead the viewers eye through your photograph. Other than that I do like the light and the colours and I love the sky! :)

2 - Hehe this one is cute! But there is this weird green kind of tint to it. That could have been completely on purpose of course but it's a little weird lol It kind of messes up the shot a little. I like how you have the other smiley cow in the background xD I think the focus is pretty good in this photo and you have considered all the different fields in the photo. There isn't just a subject and that is it, you have considered the background as well. So keep thinking like that ^^ and actually the more I look at this photo the more that cow freaks me out!

3 - I like this one. I'm not usually one for constructed photographs either lol The concept is seemingly well thought through and executed. The focus is really quite good, how some things are in focus and others aren't, however I would have maybe liked all the pills spilling out in focus. Again you have considered not just your subject but also the background which is good! Shame we don't have pill bottles like that in Britain lol

4 - I looooove the colours in this one. The green is so green and the blue the same. The one problem I have with this photo is that the pine cone is out of focus. It bothers the eye. Also the out of focus bits of grass at the bottom right are quite distracting to. However I know how difficult it is to focus on the thing you want in the middle of grass xD The blades of grass that are in focus though are cool and I like that the trees and sky are out of focus.

5 - This one is better because the pine cone is in focus. I also like the angle, almost like you are this minute thing looking up at a huge pine cone! Like the borrowers! lol I really like that. The out of focus blade of grass cutting through the photo does distract a little. But I like this one :)

So....yeah I tend to write an awful lot when I am reviewing photographs lol I hope I wasn't too harsh ^^

To improve for next time I think you should think about your framing a little more and how to keep it uncluttered and also how you are leading someone's eye through the photo but most of all just keep taking photographs lol You obviously have some talent!

1) have to admit, it is an amature photo, but it is still beautiful.
2)i dont like it. lol, just because it doesnt mean anything to me, you know?
3) this is my favorite. I love the title, and i can relate to this photo. My friend tried to commit suicide twice from her pain pills, so i understand the topic of this photo.
4)&5) they are alright. The green of the grass is beautiful, and how the pine cone contrasts with it makes it look that much better

all and all i say if you see something beautiful, take a picture of it, and thats what you did.

I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
