Need photo critiquing...are any of these good?

[Maize411]

I LOVE 9,3, and 11 But they are all really nice in their own way You have a very good eye for photography

 

[srsb]

I like 8.

I could see #8 and #9 together on a wall, kinda contrasting each other, nice stuff!

 

[Cornsnake124]

i like either 2, 3, or 12.

 

[Nroc]

I like 1,2 & 12. Not much consensus here yet...

lol...IMHO, 1, 2, 11, and 12 are the least effective.

The rest are pretty good...some are a little dark...how did you meter those shots?

With 1 and 2, the subject is too centered...and in 2, there is not enough depth of field.

3 and 4 are my favorites

I agree with your assessment, but the only reason I didn't care for 3, its a bit out of focus on the branch, and not in a good way.

Imma fan of #3 But they are all neato. 1 isn't really..calling me..and neither are the last 2. The last two need more too it..

 

[animalhouse]

Maybe try #1 in Blk/white if you have the option on your camera

I really love #10. I think that winter is wonderful weather to shoot. Sure, it may not be full of flowers, spring greens, and bees buzzing but I quite like the quiet dreariness of winter.

I think you are selling yourself short. They are all very nicely done.

ditto from me. (Though by now I'm sick of it :rofl: I want spring to get here!). I like dreariness.

Thank you all the for the help! I took into consideration every single post. Those who offered advice were very much appreciated, taking a really good photograph is no easy task! I went out the day after this post and took many more, trying to get more of a focus and better composition for each photo. Here's what I got:

How can I make these old crab apples look less like their randomly hanging? Is the background too strong?

Someday I will take a photography class!

I like the stream bed photo in this batch much more than any of the others, personally.

 

[Calift]

Thanks for your opinion Janine. Maybe the ones I have from a further distance are most interesting to look at? I figured since the woods were wet, slushy and rather dreary....no one would want to see the scattered twiggy trees. lol

I didn't save the ones that show more of the landscape....only these:

 

[diamondlil]

Oh now that's more like a winner right there! The cabin through the trees, for me, has much more drama and a story to tell. I like the macro ones, I enjoy trying to get those sort of shots myself, but showing just how dark and dreary the landscape is works for me!

 

[luckycharm318]

The very last picture you posted is awesome!

 

[Asbit]

The second photo, the macro of the fallen tree, I think might look even better as a black and white. As well I have to agree that the last photo, the old house through the trees, is the best yest!!

 

[wasuslitherin]

4, 8 and 11, and 12 are MY favorites. But I still think all of them are very good.

I would try the fallen tree over the water one in black and white too, just to see what came out, I like it though.
I like the barn one...but I think I would have tried walking forward maybe about 5 or 10 more feet, so a little more of the barn in the pic, a little less of the woods, but not too much less.
I also like the 2nd pic in post #31. With the branches into the water.
