Newbie's new photos

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.

Ok well i thought its about time I put a photo or two up... had a lot of trouble finding anything to really put up - I am yet to take a single shot that I really really like... but i've been talking about macros on the forum lately and they are definately my weakest spot so i thought why not start with that...these are two that i took in the last wk - nothing special but anywhere is a good place to start.... Bring on the critique (advice) cause i can def use it.... Now to see if i can follow Stubbsy's instructions properly =P

The 2nd one is unusual. It has good colour and composition. It does seem a tad soft on my monitor. How far away from the object was the lens? Were you using a tripod?

Thanks for posting these, and have fun with your new camera!

Knowing Mozzie most likely hand held with her EF-S 60mm (which she has a love/hate relationship with).

I like #2, nice colours and DOF is good.

Being a total sucker for flower shots I must say that #1 is a beauty. It’s sharp where it needs to be and the OOF flower in the background just adds that more depth.
