speaking of Dr. Suess Land, definately would have loved to of visited that place when i was younger...where exactly is that?

i like the pictures because they are very interesting and colorful. As for using it in av mode 18 sounds a little on the high side, but doesn;t really matter too much. Even though in some of the pictures i would have liked to of seen how they looked with a smaller depth of field.

that first one is very cool and abstract. The rest are well done but dont really interest me, no really strong compositions but they may appeal to human and humorous appeal.

Number one is very nice! 5 & 6 are not bad, but nothing extraordinary, the rest look like snapshots for your family album.

I like #1 (straight up) and #5 (the bridge)

Thanks for your input's, I agree number one, the tower shot is the better of the bunch. I'll try to be more creative in my shots

Creativity is of course important, but composition even more so. In photo #9 for example, one leg of the bench is clipped. On the top, there is some distracting element.

Try thinking like a child when photographing. If a child were to paint a bench, would he or she cut off one of the legs like that and add a spot of unrelated color to the top? I doubt it. Keep you photos simple and the subject clear. That's my advice to you.

1st shot is great - but would have been awesome if the lines could be 'calibrated'. Is it possible to take another go at it? Would love to see it.

Sorry, I didn't like the first. It's focal point was uninteresting and the cloud distracts the eye.

I did like the first blue bench for it subject and simplicity. It would be great if it were photoshop'd some. Like putting it somewhere else or removing the distracting element behind the bench.

lines calibrated? what do you mean? is this an lens defect that I should have taken in account?
