Trying portrait work for the first time. Got lucky with this one! My cat is

usually VERY unwilling to help.

Thanks.

If you have any suggestions on improvement, please post!

Well, almost a cat nap. He was getting pretty irritated with me and my

camera. :)

Critiques gladly accepted and wanted!

Caught this little dude at the conservatory today.

Critiques very much welcome. Thanks!!

Would love a critique. Caught these guys snuggling.

Alternate ideas (closer crop, b&w, etc. gladly accepted)

Dug this one out of the depths from last year. Pretty much straight from

my camera, just cropped a bit.

Thanks!

Thanks, guys...

I was a bit bugged that I didn't follow the rule of thirds... at least when I took the photo. Again, this photo is without any adjustments, except to minimize size to post. The cropping is a good idea. I always somehow forget that you can crop to change the point of view!!

Okay -

Please, please go easy on me. This is the first photo I've had the nerve

to post for critique. In fact, it's the first photo I've EVER posted online.

(Well, of my own work).

I'm sure it's not anywhere near perfect. I'm sure there is a ton wrong

and a ton to work on.

It was taken with my new-ish D80. I've been trying to play around with

the settings and learn. I've been reading my D80 book and reading up

on photoshop.

This was taken at Gettysburg. Near the visitor center of the battlefield.

I think it was just pure luck that it kinda turned out coolish looking. I

love the color pattern of the flower.

It is 100% unaltered. I didn't even get to crop it. The only thing I did

was to resize it so that I could post it. It took me awhile to even figure

out how to do that!

So.... first work ever.... eek! Go easy... I'm willing to learn!! Thanks.
