Are any of these good?

With the S2IS (sadly), I went out looking to improve my novice skills. XTi is coming, just not here yet. The S2 suffers from a bad noise problem.

You all think any of these are good?

3 and 5 are my favorites..

#4 for me, I just wish there was more of the reflections. Nice shots though.

Me too. Damn nature!! lol

#3 and #4 I really like.

#3 is a very nice pastoral scene. Nice balance and color.
#4 I enjoy because I really like nighttime cityscapes. The colors reflected in the water are great.

#1: While it is a good picture, it feels washed out. You may want to try to boost the contrast a bit in a photo editing application.

#2: This is a great shot, tones are smooth. I like the composition, and think it works well in B/W.

#5: The tower seems to be tilted very slightly (1° or 2°) which detracts from the image. May want to try a bit different composition than dead center on this one as well. I think the sky is well exposed and balanced with the foreground, with only the slightest hint of blown highlits on the clouds (which, imo is okay in this situation)

#2 is my favorite

love the shape of those buildings (silos maybe?)

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I agree with #1 seeming washed out. Its the grass. I tried and tried and you just cant get a good image from it. Its not really a nice shade of green. Its kinda, field like. ANyway.

On #5, I hadnt noticed the tilt. I'll see what can be done about that. Thanks.

edit: Oh, and yes #2 is silos.

I like 2, 3 and 4. Although i'd quite like to see what #2 looks like flipped, so the silos are on the right.

Not sure why exactly, but i don't find 1 and 5 very interesting!?! Maybe the composition, not sure...

I dont either! Just thought I'd post 'em up!

#1 is my favorite. Too bad you cut off the ear though...

#2 - I don't like roads in pictures if at all possible.

#3 - horizon looks crooked and the trees in the background are too far away and the field is too empty.

#4 All the light reflection is really an eyesore/distraction. That reflection adds nothing to the shot.

#5 - Nice sky but a subject that I could do without seeing in a photo.

3 and 4 are really great! I love the horses grazing.
