the best way to get others to look at your gallery is usually to look at their work and make comments. if you are looking for critique on a specific photo, ask for it in a thread, and include the photo. Good luck, have fun, there's lots of great people here who can answer just about any question.

Hi Heather, Welcome to BP! This is a good place to learn and there are others here about your age, read thru the Q & A's and you will find them and you can also learn alot from this section. Stephanie gave you a good way to get started for critique but there is also another way. After you upload your image that you want critique on, find it in your gallery then click on it. Scroll down to where you see Discuss This Photo, and click that. Then it will bring up Choose a Category and click on Constructive Critique, then make a comment in the Comment section and Submit. This way you are placing the photo you want into an area for critique. Hope this helps!

You got my attention with the question, lol. Look at peoples work and comment and ask questions when you look at their work. When people get a comment for you it is natural for them to take a look at your gallery. Good luck and keep trying! Rebecca

Well, you could let us know in this thread which picture you would like for us to comment on and we will do so. Some of us, myself included, don't really partake of the discussion forum but will comment on a picture in a thread. The only comment I have about your photos in general is that they all appear to be badly out of focus. (Oh, wait a minute. Maybe I should put my glass back on before I say that.) Seriously, I have to say you have a good eye. Pick one photo and I will make my comments - good, bad or whatever.

Heather, starting your own discussion with critique works but you will need very thick skin sometimes. People can be really mean when they see an image in the CC. It's almost like sharks that smell blood in the water. In order to add photos to a discussion therad in the Q&A you must be FULLY signed in. Emaily addy and password. Good luck!

I would say Kerry is right, you definately have a good eye for photography, you just need to refine your skills. When you find something you want to photograph, point the camera so that the part you want in focus is in the center of the frame, with most cameras you can then press the shutter down only half way and lock the focus on that spot, then you can move the camera to change your composition and keep that same spot in focus, so long as the distance between the camera and the subject is still the same. Also, do you have a tripod? You should definately learn to use one, it would really have helped with the merry go round photo. If you can't get a tripod, try to brace the camera againt a wall, table or railing, even holding it close to your body with you elbows tight to your sides would help, so long as the light wasn't too low.

Well, you asked for comments so here they are. Please take them as constructive criticism, not as negative comments. The Life of a Butterfly - seems out of focus. You also need more depth of field. When you shoot that close, DOF is quite limited so use a very small aperature. Merry Go Round - There is no subject, at least not a central one. I would have preferred a shot of a close-uo of one of the heads with the rest in the background. Life Through a Side Mirroe - Really like that one. You have the dog plus cars behind in the mirror and I like that. Now, a few comments on others in your gallery that were not included above: Sunset Past the Pines - That one really appears fuzzy but I suspect that may be due to an upload problem. I do like the composition though. Life Through the Darkness - Quite impressive. All of your landscape shots have good composition. You have a foreground object, a middle ground and something in the background. This one especially impressed me. See, not all my comments were bad. LOL

Stephanie, she really should have an easy time holding focus. She is primarily using an Olympus OM-10, a manual focus camera. LOL I have an OM-2n and I love it.
