Just be aware that if you let it do the resizing you'll get horrible JPEG artifacts. Bigger is better, Daughter!
Keep shooting.

Okay, thanks. I used allyoucanupload for that; not sure how it all works.

No problem.
Snapshots, rather than artistic photographs.

Okay, so do the two others come closer?

Well if you look on the edge of the smokestack and around the tree you'll see little gray boxes jumping out of the sky. Theses are artifacts because the algorithm of the resizer took too much data from the original to try and make the picture smaller in file size (and dimensions, of course).

Yeah, sorry. I failed to mention that. If you don't have photoshop, a free program called Irfanview is easy to use in resizing. Just go to http://www.irfanview.com and download the program. Its not much, but its good if you're just using it to resize pics.

| | | | I agree that you need to keep shooting. But, stop trying to use those same pictures, and re-"formatting" them.
Go back there with an artistic eye and try to capture the feeling of being there, rather than the feeling of standing next to a smoke stack looking up.

Well, I know how to use Photoshop, if that's what you mean...but...but...okay, I guess I'll just have to say I like the tree there.
Anyone else have an opinion about the tree?

But one does crop sometimes, doesn't one?

| | | | The best advice I can give you is to go to a local library and check out a few books about photography and composition. There's really a lot more to photography than most people think. The best way to take a picture is to plan it out enough that you won't have to crop. Honestly, I don't remember the last time I cropped a photograph (in a darkroom, or in photoshop). Before I take the picture I sit there and picture exactly what I want it to look like in the finished print, and I do what I need to do to make it look that way, even it it means leaving and coming back 6 hours later when the lighting has changed. The book I learned quite a bit from is called "The Joy of Photography" and it was written by the editors of the Eastman Kodak Company. It's probably out of print by now, but I'd be willing to bet almost any local library would have it. Another thing, look at famous fine art photographers. It'll come in time. Just stick with it.

Thank you kindly! I've been checking out books, but haven't seen that one. Maybe I can find it used online.
I don't think I mentioned the fact that the reason I never tried photography before is that all three of my brothers are professional photographers. It was just too daunting. But now I have a diagnosis of Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer, and I've vowed to try a bunch of new things before I die. So if I sometimes seem in a hurry, that's why

Bones, thanks for that advice as well. In a way, I feel like I'm learning a little every day.
