New Photographer, please critique

1 and 2 aren't too great, nothing really stands out for me..then again I take pictures of nothing all the time..its all subjective anyways. But I personally don't like them, especially the added lens flare. In regards to the lens flare, I don't know if it was your intent to have colored lens flare in a BW picture..i'm not a big fan of BW pictures with selective color, most of them end up looking corny as hell. Also, just noticed, #1 isn't really in focus either. I didn't mean to tear you apart with the first two..

3 is amazing! just the BW conversion wasn't great. Gotee posted an edit that really shows the potential in that picture, I love that one..good job.

Keep shooting..you get better everyday

Yeah, I don't know why I posted that first picture...it's not good at all...very out of focus. I am not sure why I put a colored lens flare in that pic...just trying new stuff I suppose...glad to hear some feedback though.

Don't worry about posting what you may not think is your 'best' stuff, everyone here will try to explain how to fully realize your potential. Sometimes I don't even know what is wrong with a picture, and several sets of eyes, and a few posts later, I have some ideas on how to improve for the next shot. This place is very useful for that. You just have to be open enough, and have some thick skin. Sounds like you are taking the suggestions the right way, so you'll have no problem gaining a lot from this forum.
