it took me awhile to work up the courage to post anything, but i really would love some advice, since im just learning
i hope this is the right place for posting these three... no other category seemed right
anyways, took these a few weeks ago when we had this week long frost, which doesnt usually happen so i just had to get out and take advantage of it

Hello Sheri,
and "Welcome" to a great site and wonderful community, I hope in time when you get used to things you will enjoy your time here and feel more at home with us
These are nice images, I especially love the first one. I really like the way you lead us down the road and it makes me wonder "what's down there?" You have some lovely detail and light in your images and I think for your first posts you did a really nice job. Well done and I look forward to seeing more soon, remember we all started somewhere so if your stuck and need advise just ask, I am sure there is always someone here who will and can help you.
Have fun,
David.

Beautiful, I am a beginner, hoping for some constructive criticism myself, so trying to do the same for some other members.
In the first picture, I love the composition, lighting is superb. The large size sample seemed a little out of focus or pixellated?
I think number two is pretty perfect.
Number three. beautiful bokeh (Is that what you call it? The blurred background?) Maybe you could have zoomed in a little, the subject seems a little small. I love the way the ice stands up on the edges of the leaves! Superb!

Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

I love the pictures I think the best one is # 3 because it is really sharp and it has the the dark color on the white background. I love the snow around the leaf i'm sure in full resolution the picture is much sharper, I think its the best from all 3 of them. The picture #2 and #1 it also has very nice settings just in my opinion it need more light or more intensive colors (I like very intensive colors so its just my opinion) but anyway I think pictures during the winter are the best. Good job. Next week i will try to take some pictures outside in snow and I wish I can find settings like you have on picture #1.

"New" to sharing photos, but hoping this one will upload ok b/c last time I tried, it had all the lines across it and such....

This is a cotton field in Coffee County, AL that I shot on New Years Day. I shot with my old "faithful" Minolta 5D, which has survived its 9 lives, to say the least! I'd love some feedback on it. I edited with a few layers of "colorized" to keep the blue tones alongside the b/w, and I cropped as a panoramic.

And I still can't figure out how to post a large pic in this box, and not just a link. Any help on that?

Thanks!

I think this is posted in the wrong place, inside someone elses thread in the critique section?
That being said, I like the photo, but I wish the trees were a lot larger, or there were a farmhouse or something!

To post an image first edit it so it is 740pixels on the long side, then upload by browsing on your computer for the image.

Hi Doc--

So, on uploading, I'm clicking on the "mountain" icon within the Message line. Is that correct? B/c when I do it that way, it only gives me the option to put the link in......maybe it's my wacky mac or the fact that I still haven't gotten the swing of this mac.

Hm. I am new also! I do not want to hijack *sheri*'s thread. Maybe a moderator can move these posts to a new thread.
I have only posted one photo, one every 24hrs I believe is the forum rule?
Looking back, now I remember, I resized it at Photobucket and added the IMGlink from there.
There is a tutorial in the FAQ section I believe.
You could try the Manage Attachments dialog box below the reply box and add an attachment... let me know how that works. In a few hours I will be posting my second photo, I would love some criticisim.
