Hi everyone, novice DSLR user and first post/picture here.

I got my 450D last week and have been playing with the kit lens. Still getting to grips with all the bells and whistles after years with a Casio compact camera but took this photo in the garden which I'm fairly pleased with although it looks a tad soft to me.

I've got a 'nifty fifty' on order too which will be better for this kind of shot I guess.

Feedback welcome

Yes it does look a bit soft, but it's a great start.

Things will get better over time as you get to grips with it all.

Warm welcome to POTN.

Thanks for the welcome Pete!

Looking forward to picking everyone's brains on here.

Actually I revisited the sharpening on that shot after resizing it and it looks a little crisper now:
