Hey, new to /p/, so I'll post a couple of my favorites and I'd like to get a critique.

My Nikon Coolpix L3 died and now I'm looking for something along the same lines as it. I really liked the different Scene modes, especially the Closeup, and the results I got from it. Any recommendations?

This is about it for them. Let me know what you think and anything I should watch out for next time.

Also looking for any point and shoot recommendations

i love your photo but i hate your subject. fake flowers were always ugly to me. angle could have been better, background could have been less distracting, overexposed part on left could have been avoided, and that big chunky metal thing in the foreground whatever that is could have been placed less distractingly. i like the color. i like the way that the flower is out of place surrounded by things you would not usually see accompanied by flowers.

is very nice, i like how soft the colors are and how the pale blue goes with the fuzzy white but my eye is not led anywhere in particular in this shot. i guess it could have been more harmonious.

there might be something to 'get' here but i don't get it. it looks to me like you found a fortune cookie fortune against a texture you liked and placed it deliberately so that the photo was about the printed message. if that's the case you could basically have done the same thing by putting the message in your AIM profile or something :/ it's not really all too profound.

the rest are pictures of flowers o_o
