Ahh, Paris. Please don't laugh . . . I am a TRUE beginner. This photo was taken with a Kodak Advantix camera. My husband was impressed with my Paris photos and bought me a Minolta Maxxum 5D camera from Christmas.

I am a beginner and would like any comments/suggestions and tips on

this picture and future ones with my Minolta Maxxum 5D. I will be

returning to Paris is mid June for a week and would like to learn how

to use my new camera. Thanks!

I think your photo's well done! Really pretty! You have it in your blood.. Doesn't matters beginner or not, you're good! The composition is great and your photo compose many element: the bridge, the water, the tower, the tree, and I think it's not too much!! It fill perfect the image!

Refreshing another look at the tower. The best advise that a person can give you id " read the owners manual and do what it says" after doing that you will develop onto you your own style. You have so much going for you. Keep both eyes open and shoot small. They will be big.:)6/6

 

I think there is potential. I would like you to look for a book by "Freeman Patterson"-The Joy of Photography. When you get in touch with the emotion and meld it with the camera techniques you will find the message clear. We get caught up in our tools that we need to focus on the feeling and inspiration.

There's nothing here to laugh at - it's a very nice picture that captures the ambience. I really like this.
