First picture

I'm new, just started taking pictures. Here is a pic I recently took.

Old man and Molly

welcome to potn, and congrats on first post. its a nice image. I think would have done better with a little shallower dof, as its just a touch too busy. the man and statue are also too stacked on top of each other, which gives less ballance to image. over all a decent image.

Thanks for the comment. I was going from one part of the city to another with a bunch of people and decided to get a quick one.

Great shot and thanks for joining us. Looks like you might be in an area with some interesting activity. You should start learning about depth-of-field and apply the concepts to your images. For example, try this same shot with your kit lens wide-open, meaning at f/3.5. Try to blur the background while leaving the main subject in focus.

Good luck.

I was just there for half a day. Would love to be there for a longer time and probably will go there soon. I've been trying different things on my camera and would definitely love to take that picture again. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to POTN. May I say for a beginner that's an awfully good shot and well observed. I agree about the shallower DOF but you've picked him out of the crowd for a picture so that shows a good eye. Carry on snapping away and sharing with us here on POTN
