Hello! I'm really interested in photography but I stopped for a couple of months because of some other stuff. These are my shots before. I hope you'd take your time and look at them. :yeah: Opinions and criticisms are very much welcome :D

You're focus is very nice. As SamB said - work on your composition a bit. Are you familiar with principals of art/design? Try to look for: Texture, balance, imbalance, repetition, use of lines, color, etc... All of these factors benefit your compositional efforts.

Are you familiar with the rule of thirds? If not:
The rule of thirds is the simple principal that a photograph can be divided into nine squares (like a grid) - three columns and three rows. A photograph can be top weighted, bottom weighted; left right or centered.
For example:
http://www.digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/images/200605022117.jpg

The subject of the photo, the bee on the flower, is for the most part located in the far most right section of the image - making it a right weighted photograph.

The rule of thirds is just a way to get you to use space more effectively and improve your composition by not always having your subject in the same spot (generally the center). I try to keep it in mind while shooting - I suggest that all photographers do.

Thank you sir! :D I honestly have no idea what the principles of art/design are. I've read once about the rule of thirds but I seldom think about it xD Thank you for those info though. I'll try to study more about it and hopefully, get better. :yeah:

Can I ask for your opinion on my shots? I don't mind criticisms :D And thanks for the motivation. I'm not really into iPhone cams though xD

I love your work! :) One small criticism, though. Taking "High" as an example, it'd be better if you got the entire bird in the shot, rather than clipping off part of its wing. It generally, given the context, looks a hell of a lot better! Other than that and the above mentioned, they're awesome!!

Thank you sir and to everyone :D I appreciate all the comments, honestly. :yeah:

Regarding that.. xD If I'm not mistaken I needed to crop out a small cloud and lost a part of the wing in the process. I didn't want anything in the sky but the bird so yeah. Thanks :D

You have mentioned the rule of thirds and the princelpuls of photography but I have to say, those rules are there to be broken. some picture can look a lot better when they don't follow this rule, where as others need it to make the image stronger. Just some pointers that I have learnt :)

Thats why I said just to keep it in mind. There aren't any set "rules" while shooting, but its just something to possibly keep in mind if you're asking how to make a stronger composition.
