Hi!
This is a really nice forum.
I have photographed only for a couple of months (I'm a newby) and I would like to hear Your brutal opinion

[Toad]

Welcome to Shuttertalk. For a newbie, I am very impressed by your eye for composition and style. I love the composition and subject of #2 (the dead flower against the stained wall), and I feel that you have nailed the motorcycle shot as well. It is always a difficult thing for a new photographer to zoom in on the *real* subject of the photo, and most newbies would have shown the entire motorcycle rather than just the name and establishing context. The background is also appropriately industrial. Well done. #3 (whatever it is) is also very interesting.

I think you have a great future ahead of you if these early shots are any indication. You definitely have the eye.

Your compositions are very nice, I like the pastel colors in #1.
Did you make any post processing in #2?
I like it but I see it a bit soft. I find there a great oportunity to work with textures in that wall.
I would like to know what that is in #, looks interesting.
I like your treatment in #4. Is this an HDR image?

Welcome to Shuttertalk...

I gave a little room to your pictures to see them separately, hope you don't mind.

Welcome to shuttertalk, for only 2 month staking pictures you have some great efforts here, I would echo Irma and Toad's comments.

#2 to me lacks a little sharpness, generally speaking any image needs at least one element that is sharp and in focus, to my eye this image is lacking that. That said the composition, tones and textures of the image are wonderful.

Thanks a lot. Its really hard for me to get good pictures, choose right light etc. You gave me good ideas, thanx.
#3 "blueeye" is some gained sump or old hydrant or something like that in the ground, there is reflections sky.
#4 what is HDR image? Can you post some examples or links? In these pictures I used unsharp mask, curves, selective color, hue/saturation, surface blur, multiply layer and unsharp mask again.
Professionaly I work in Design Bureau (printmedia, prepress - great job to train the eye )
* My english is not very good, yet

[EnglishBob]

Your English is a hole lot better than my anything other than English.

[Irma]

Now that you explainded your post processing I understand why I thought it was an HDR image.
