1st shots with a D60, please comment

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I like the second picture Shazzm, the Pelican.
You've captured some interesting behaviour there. :)
The murky green water spoils the duck picture IMO,
and shooting from a lower angle, parallel with the bird if possible would help composition.
Welcome, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your new camera :D

All three have great focus points, the colour is good (including the green water) and I hope to see more from you and your D60 :up:

For a newbie you are doing way better than I would have done! Great work and looking forward to seeing more from you.

The green water is a matter of taste and can be changed very easily in post if you wish so...

Thanks guys and gals,

yes, i agree that i don't like the green water, but i haven't been able to get my raw files into CS2. I have combed the Adobe site and found lots of info, downloaded camera raw 3.1 and installed it, but it still won't open my raw. so I guess the water will stay green.

thanks for the feedback, the D60 is pretty great to use. I love it. carry it with me everywhere.
