>>60318 Very nice and well-balanced.
>>60321 >>60329 >>60331 No real point to these shots. Try to find a good, tangible subject for your photographs. Pretty pictures are fine, but they don't cut it to have a punch, just like stylistic copies of "roses are red..." don't make good poems.
>>60323 >>60326 Not pointless; you had a subject. But still, these didn't work out. Editing, in the sense of learning which of one's own photographs are good and which aren't, is an important skill to learn. These just didn't end up having what a photograph needs. There's nothing wrong with them, but there's nothing right either.
Don't be discouraged, though: 90% of what any photographer shoots is like that. Professionals regard 1-3% of shots turning out as something worth showing to be pretty much par for the course.
>>60325 Try a different edit. Less saturation, less contrast. The composition is fine, but those are too much.
You've the S3IS. Turn the saturation down (I forget how far I did it when I used the S3IS), the sharpness up, and adjust the contrast judiciously based on the scene.
Also, if you're going to shoot in Black and White and have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (The latter is $100, if I remember correctly, and 99% as good as the full thing) use the Channel Mixer (Called "Convert to Black and White" in Elements) to get it to black and white. Different color light shows up differently in black and white, and Channel Mixer lets one control the relative intensity of red, green, and blue light. You can do this to a limited degree on the S3IS-play around with that- in color, but in black and white, it's fixed.
>>60327 Good. I like the geometry.
>>60328 The sepia is distracting, as are the feet. Also, the subject matter might be fun to shoot, but it isn't the stuff to share. Not original enough. Again, all photographers shoot a lot of fun stuff that isn't extraordianry enough to pass around.
