Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

You're doing pretty damn good for a beginner.
The Round tower is right smack in the middle of the image in no.1 which is generally a no no composition wise. The cross helps draw your eye away from it tho. Google the Rule of Thirds (and how to often ignore it). Perhaps try it with a tight portrait crop?
I like no. 2 the most. The depth is great. It draws your eye across it down into the valley.
The view of the dragon fly is looking down from the top. This is generally how we look at insects and is often why dramatic angles and in macro shots of bugs work well. (Good luck getting close to one for that tho!)
No. 4: I can't help feeling that if you got down lower that this shot would look better. The problem with that is that you may end up filling the photo with lots of boring sky.
Then again getting close to the ground with the loose stones in the foreground and a shallow depth of field may work.
No. 5 is quite empty. I would tend to go mad withthe post processing to compensate but that's just me. (Hope you don't mind?)0 -

I'm new to photography myself but I'll give you my opinion on them :pac:
1. seems a bit random, you may have been better served taking 2 individual shots, one of the cross and one of the tower
2. good shot but the bit of road really draws the eye away from the rest on the scene
3. the dragon fly is lost in the shot, try getting in closer and setting the lens to it's lowest aperture value, once you focus on the dragonfly this will give you a nice blurred background and really highlight the subject
4. as said above could be slightly improved by getting a bit lower, but i like it as is
5. my favourite of your shots, the sky gives a nice dramatic look to the scene, can't think of any criticisms for this one
familiarise yourself with the instruction book and learn how adjusting the different settings will affect your shots, circular polarised filters can have a dramatic effect on landscape shots and can be picked up very cheaply, keep up the good work0 -

Thanks. Sometimes (well, quite often
) I have a feeling that "something's wrong with the picture" but with no idea of what would fix it. Have a few photos that look pretty good, but I think it's a matter of luck rather than my own skill and that's why I really appreciate any feedback and ideas. 0 -
