Inviting constructive criticism

[Paul Simonetti]

I'm finally taking my photography seriously and would welcome constructive criticism.

Here is the address to my new site. I can't help but feel there are some pictures I should take down because they are not any good....

Your pics are very good indeed.
No space to crit each and every one but overall standard
is high.

Some of your sunset shots are quite spectacular.
They need to be, as we see so many sunset shots.

Overall, you can be very proud of what you have already achieved.

don't be afraid to exclude any that you feel are not up to standard.

Nobody can bat 1000. We all have pics that didn't work.

I am not experienced enough to comment on the people shots.

On the scenery shots I have two comments:

(1) Water lines have to horizontal. One of your shots out to be rotated and cropped a bit.

(2) Composition. Ascide from the great color (sunsets) you should study (www.Kodak tips) the elements of composition. That will add movement and draw our eyes into your subject. Look over shots of trees and lakes and try to see what makes then tick.
