I have only posted in this forum a couple of times. Since I am trying to improve my photography skills I thought I would give it another shot. I took these shots during this past week and I thought they turned out well. C&C welcome.

#2 I think I could have added more light to this one.

#3 I'm not as happy with this one. The bones came out softer than I would have liked and even though I manually focused, the focus is more on the grass instead of the bones.

I do product photography and would like to point a few things out from my perspective.

First, I like 1 and 3.

1st one may be cropped too tight and is a little too blurry. Try flash or tripod.

2nd one is too OOF, noisy, distracting background and probably too much motion blurriness. Almost forgot to mention...I'd say everything wrong with your lighting but that's up to your taste, I'm just giving tips on foundational pointers.

3rd needs to have the bones dead center since there are 2 objects or maybe a larger crop. Why? Because the background has so much grass, it's easy for the eyes to sway, especially when it's all in focus.

Those are simply the largest points I can think of at the moment that will help your foundation later on. The nit-picking I don't really care for much because you'll figure everything else out down the road. This is just my opinion of course :)
