| | | First of all if you look at my shots, I'm by no mean a good photographer, I know some things from my stepmother so correct me if I'm wrong. For #1, I love the contrast but I feel like my eyes are drifting on the plants in the frontground, they're taking too much room and it's distracting me from the real subject. Rule of base would be the 2/3. But in here, the plants are almost 1/2 way in the picture and it's overloading it, with it. Not to forget also, the bright red colour is attracting my sight to it. #2, Overall good, should've aimed the camera towards where she's facing. She's more on the right side even though she's looking right. You want to camera to follow her sight, it makes us move our eyes to where she's looking at but there's nothing to look at but a border after a bit. She should've been on the left side of the picture (2/3 once again) looking right --> moving our eyes through the image. Also, you are shooting profile so you should not see that much of a gap between the top of her head and the top of the picture, she's not centered (horizontally). As for #4, the shirt and the pants are not detailed enough. You never want a picture that has deep black or white in them, you always want informations everywhere. The pants are too dark and the shirt is over blown with the exposure removing details, stuff to look at like a zipper, pockets or folds in the shirt anything. Especially if it's your subject. As for the focus, it looks off, as if it wasn't focused on her, either that or she moved in a long exposure.

| Hey Rusty, took some of your advice on the 2/3 and recropped these 2. As for the red tree, I can't do much about it, I was going for that "shoot through" effect. I definitely need to work on my in camera framing etc.
