Hello, I'm new to this forum and purchased a new camera recently.

Hope you can give me some criticism some of my photos :)

I like #1, a nice clean shot, I would crop out the sky personally.

Good luck with the 350D, it's an awesome little camera.

Might get more responses in the "Critique Corner" thread :)

Superstes, thanks for the comment! I realised the sky is a bit blown out but I think if I cropped it out, the image would be too small, what do you think? Also, I couldn't do much since I don't have a tripod, so I couldn't do a multiple exposure.

Thanks squashed, I completely overlooked the Critique Corner forum!

I really like the first two. The third one is good but my eye keeps being drawn to the white of the piano keys which is a little distracting for me.

The first two are really good in my opinion. I am really not feeling the last one simply because there needs to be slightly some more contrast between the sky and buildings. I am not sure if it was the look you were going for or what but, most won't find it too interesting. Other than that, great shots and keep shooting.

Thanks for the comments!
Gebber, I can see what your saying, I wanted to include the keys in the composition whilst showing contrast between the flowers and the dark keys. Thanks for the comment!

Hello Derek, thanks for the comment, I tried to go for a sillhouette effect, but I see what your saying, I think it lacks a focal point.

Will take your opinions on board on my next try! More comments are welcome.

I'm going to give the architecture photography in London another go soon, and hopefully get some better results this time with the use of the Ultrapod.
