Critique my shot

[windrider86]

This was a shot I took in the back hills of New Mexico about a year after a fire. The other is a roof of a luandramat that I thought would be cute with bubbles. And the lasts one is of bubble gum inside a machine. Kinda grainy but couldnt quite get it to clear up.
I'm using a fujiFilmE900 and also using Corel paint shop
I am very very new at this and have no clue how to layer or pretty much do anything I have read others doing. So any insight or advice would be very much appreciated!

Hi, the images are quite small and it's hard for me to get too much detail out of them but I can say this:

1) The bubbles one looks quite good. Good contrast, composition, lighting, etc.
2) The gum ball one could be good if it were in better focus.
3) I can't say much about the second shot because I can't really see it... post a larger version and I'll try to check it out.

Hi, Windrider. Welcome to DPS forum ! I don't know what you are using to upload your pictures, but if you need some help, check out the "Posting Images" section of the FAQ. You might be able to post larger images if you try those steps.
As KagoGrl said, it is hard to see your images in the size they are. The second two seem out of focus. You might be able to fix these slightly in post processing by sharpening. The best way to fix it is by preventing it in the first place. Try using a tripod to hold your camera still or a faster shutter speed.
I like the gumballs; very colorful. Are the bubbles real or added in post processing; interesting idea for a laundromat. It also seems to be in better focus then the other two. The diagonal lines of the roof and the round bubbles are interesting together. The hills after the fire picture wouldn't be bad, but the frame is distracting.
Keep posting your shots!
