Whaddaya think? Constructive criticism is appreciated. Likes? Dislikes? How can I make my shots better?

Shot with a Canon 20D and a 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens. Slight touch-ups in Paint.NET afterwards (such as cropping and sharpening).

All shot with fine, large JPG's.

Nate, you are an excellent photographer!! I love the pics!!!

I like that first one a lot :D
Um..... I'm no good at constructive criticism cuz I don't know much about photography.


Maybe on the bench one, move the camera a little lower and angle it up so you see all that's there now (the bench, poles, flowers under bench) and use a high depth of field, so the background (the ocean) is blurry, and the bench is focused.

:D

and then let me buy that camera for $10 so I can make cool pictures too :P

I really like the first and the second. There is just something about that bench picture. You seem to have the eye for taking pictures. All great but I really like those first two.

On a more serious note, this is the best picture I've ever taken. My son seeing a huge red-tailed Hawk flying away with a squirrel in its talons.

The only issue I see in the shadowing in this picture is very distracting. Looks like you took it at sunset, so that creates a lot more shadows then any other time of the day. The other two look pretty good.

Hitman, interesting as to your comments. That was the picture I really liked and what I liked was the sharp shadow of the bench in contrast to the bench.

I was even going to ask if the water is the Pacific and the picture taken early morning?

I agree, I like the shadow of the bench I think it works good with the picture, it's the other shadows that are distracting. It looks like it might be a tree or something behind the bench. IMO if the shadow is to be part of the picture you either need to include the object casting the shadow, or make the shadow the focal point.
