    When I Art...

    So I have gotten into photography recently, as some of you might know.
    I'm a beginner, so any critique would be great! I'll go ahead and upload a few of my works, and keep this updated if people have any interest.

    I'm not that big on photoshop, so most of the photos you will see will come right out of the camera, or have minor color correction. Enjoy!







    Perhaps it's corny to name my pictures, but I am doing so anyway:

    End of Winter:





    End of Winter 2:





    Isolated Individuality:





    First of Spring:





    Waiting to Bloom:

      For a second, I thought you responded to yourself.

      Gorgeous pics Xiv. Isolated Individuality is my favourite.

              How did you get the Individuality one?

                Sorry Xiv. ha.

                It's hard to come with tips because I really don't have anything wrong to say. The compositions are very nice and you use light very effectively. The contrasts work well but on First of Spring, the colours are a bit oversatured for me - that's more a personnal preference because I like to keep earthy tones when photographing nature.
                I'm interested to see what you can do with wider shots.

                  Ok. Isolated Individuality is a brilliant and stunning picture, props to you. Love the shots, waiting for something focusing more on composition

                    yoooo this is ballin
                    and the subject matter of the stems makes for great diagonals so they're solid composition-wise

                    KEEP IT UP~

                      Isolated Individuality is by far the strongest photo of the bunch here IMO. The composition and texture created by the cluster of flakes is really awesome to look at.

                      The only thing I might change is boosting some of the levels of highlights in the isolated flake, more clarity, and perhaps playing with Shadows/Highlights palette and masking it just to the snowflake (just so the contrast between the bunch of flakes and the isolated one is even more strong).

                          Macro photography. In other words a lens thats pretty much the equivalent of a microscope.

                          I need a wider lens lol. It's on my list to get, once I scavenge enough money again. (Perhaps I can make my night-sky lens my wide... whenever I buy it lol)

                          Yeah, I see what you mean. I worked on that photo for days and ended up just kinda being all like "okay, this is the best I can do for now" - I might repost later with some levels shifted around and whatnot.
