nOOb picture....need C&C

it depends on what you are trying to achieve, as these shots may work well in a collection, but by themselves they do not say much to me.

the first one is abstract, and in fact I have no idea what it is. Looks like some welded joint on some metal work, but as I said, as a stand alone image, it does not mean much, but could work in a collection of similar images...

i think both could also be sharper. are they hand held?

Yes, with my kit lens....I ought'a retry with my sigma lens.

yep.. all the best with it... is it part of a project or experimentation with lenses?

Partially experimentation with lenses and partially testing the color tone on the camera and trying to capture objects in a different perspective.

i was always told (and i forget whom by) to take ALL photos in full colour and make any alterations later on the PC.

Reason; you can make a colour photo to mono very easily on a PC, but it is VERY tough to make a mono photo into a colour photo.

Who knows what you will do with the photos in the future. If you start using the B/W or sepia modes in the camera, you may regret it in the future when you want a full colour image from the same shot...

Of course, you do what you want, no one is stopping you, it was just some advise that I think is quite logical...

sounds very logical and good advice at that....thanks for the tip!

A picture i took at the mall today, I did a little tweakin' to it, so let me know what you think.

Wow Clueless! The baby on the slide is awsome.

the running shoe shot does nothing for me. The other one is a guitar (right?) and I like that...not sure what emotion you want the viewer to feel though. If it's an abstract, good work.

The baby by itself is a fantastic shot. In the context of the whole picture, I find it somewhat creepy. Just me, maybe, cuz I find most babies creepy

I think it's a great job of PP. You took an ordinary snapshot and turned it into a very interesting composition. Nice goin'

Thanks for all of the compliments, i do appriciate it a lot. Guess it's time to work on another photo, eh?

Here's a more finallized version of this picture, any advice n the boarder and such?
