Been dabbling in photography for a few years now and fairly recently started editing using Lightroom at work. I would like your thoughts on some of my shots I am rather fond of. I am just shooting with a T2i with the 55-250 lens that came in the kit. Any questions, insight, ideas I would love to hear!

Here are my thoughts on some of your photos.
1. In #1, the car looks parked, but I suspect it is moving. Since some of your other pans are a good start, I’d suggest lowering the shutter speed to get some blur in the wheels that show movement.
2. On #2 and #4, I think the shot would look better if you gave the cars room to move. Frame the cars closer to the left and leave most of the open area in front of the cars.
3. #4 seems a little out of focus. You might increase the shutter speed a little and practice the pans more.
4. I like the angle in #5, but the pole in the back that looks like it’s growing out of the hood and the other things on the sides, distract from the shot. Since you’re using Lightroom, try using the adjustment brush and clone out at least the pole.
5. # 10 has the same issue with a pole growing out of the roof. Try cloning it out. You also might want to use the gradient filter on the sky to emphasize the clouds and darken the blues.
6. I would crop #11 to keep walls but get rid of the distracting sign and photographers. The wall on the right is a great leading line so keep as much as you can.

Sorry, but in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES specifically state: "Do not use the forum as your image gallery, post only the best of the best and link to the rest."
This means we allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of 2 attachments + 6 embedded (linked) images, totaling 8 per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.
You may add a few additional photos if requested, but only in a reply to other member's post and request.

Thanks I will take all that into account!
