Hello TellingStories.
This may seem like an uncivil welcome to the DPS forum, but the community here is making a concerted effort to enforce some rules in the Critique part of the forum, all for the greater good.
If you have a look at the rules sticky (
here), you'll see that you are offside by posting
two photos, and maybe by posting attachments instead of using a hosting site. People will also ask you to post EXIF data (settings mostly) with your photo.
If you don't want to jump through these hoops, you can post in other parts of the forum which don't have these same rules (Photographing People might work, for example).
Happy to have a look at your post once it complies.
Cheers,
EL
