there are too many pics to critique, to get the most outta of this forum post at most 3 pics at a time and don't use the gallery software, upload them to flickr or photobucket and add them to the post with the img tag. Otherwise you likely won't get any response or viewers (like me, I won't click on gallery pics).

edit: better now.

If I was really created in God’s image then when God was a boy he wanted to grow up to be a man, a good man, and when God was a man, a good man, he started telling the truth in order to get honest responses.

Crappy lighting in all 3. Not overly interesting.

i think it's because he's using an point and shoot with a flash

it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

#1 is kinda cool for its dynamics - few lines perpendicular to the edges of the image, helping with the sense of movement.

In all three images it's difficult to find the subject. Decide on a key item for the viewer to look at and then compose the lines of the image to lead the viewer's eye too and from that focal point. One way to do this is to pick out intriguing details. I think a zoomed-in, detailed shot would be much more powerful for photos #2 and #3.

All of that actually makes a lot of sense. Thank You! A Lot!

No problem. It's nice to be able to give out photo critique without the photographer being overly sensitive and jumping down my throat for "attacking" their work.

One follow-up suggestion for composition: if you've never heard of the rule of thirds, take a minute to learn about it. This is the most basic set of guidelines for setting up an image to grab the viewers' attention and move their eye through the piece. Using (and knowing when to abuse) the rule of thirds can very quickly help your photography feel "more balanced" and "more interesting".

Looks like an episode of "Hoarders" LOL

I agree with Sir2nv, good subject matter, but I think it needs to be framed better. The composition is a bit weak.

Thanks Guys, I'll do some reading. I plan to head out this weekend so I'll take some new stuff. I'm also going to try out HDR. My Z712is Kodak has a mode that almost instantly snaps 3 photos of varying light levels.

ohhh future hdr shots in the making. :p
(I personally like them)

The car shot was my favorite, but please once you learn the rule of thirds don't go overboard with it. It becomes very very boring very very quickly.

FYI, this is called bracketing, so your camera has an autobracketing feature. Often used as a verb, as in: "If you're worried about iffy exposure in a complex lighting situation, try bracketing."

The locations seem interesting, but it looks like you could use a decent tripod and some post-production work for the photos. Come out shooting with me sometime, I'll give you some hints
