those are Pleasing images to look at.. and I will offer my opinion and this is just MY OPINION.
I am no body, nothing. I have never even had as much as one class ever in photography!
Now that > that is said.. let me tell you what I THINK when I look at these two fine images. this is just my opinion !
1. take your name and copryright notice off there.. no one wants to steal those two images. they want to look at your images.. don't make the same mistake so many new bees make.. they post inferior images with copyright notice and their name for ALL TO SEE. I am not interested in that portion of the image.. it only displays 'vanity' !! 2. you looking too big.. too much is included in your images that isn't necessary.
3. The first image makes me want to fall over backwards..
Photography is all about 'LIGHT' and what you can do with your imagination and THAT light.
FILL THE FRAME of the viewfinder with textured DETAIL.. your too have too much in the viewfinder.. get up closer and more personal .
find a way.. . to make the center of your point of focus the middle of the viewfinder.
I know only too well that one of the main rules of photography is DO NOT PUT SOMETHING IN THE EXACT CENTER of the photograph.
I break that rule with most of my photographs.. I always use the center of the image as the main point of my focus.!! by doing that.. .. it draws people into the image in a powerful way.
Since I have been active in forums I have noticed the 'rule of thirds" I have seen it hundreds of times.. I do not want to know what that rule is or what it has to say. I have developed my own style and I am very comfortable with my methods.
Ansel Adams once said.. .. .. "there are no rules for good photographs.. there are only good photographs.
practice .. .. .. makes .. .. .. better.. !! Keep practicing !! Keep studying images and find out what makes that image so special and desireable to look at !!
