I've been a photographer for a while, and at the moment I'm in college getting my degree in photography. I welcome criticism, and feedback of any kind really.

Canon XSi, 18-250mm lens, F5.6, 1/400, Saint Joseph, Michigan.
(Note: Quality very reduced.)

The cherries picture looks really good but a bit out of focus. The train one looks really good and the top one looks really good but it would be better if you had taken it a bit earlier so it was brighter. Look forward to seeing some more photography from you.

it's at times like this that it really is a shame that we don't allow Photography in the Art portal

Really? I asked here, and I remember asking before about posting my photos to the art portal. I even read the rules for the art forum, and didn't see anything about photography there. It should be allowed, as it's a form of art. But I digress.

The XSi is such a sexy camera, I've wanted one ever since i heard they were coming out (god damn, i need to upgrade from my XT). You have beautiful photos, they all look awesome.

The 2nd picture, it looks like the train is fake to me. It looks like it was done in a 3D program, because of the background and then the way the light plays off the train. But when I look more at it it looks more real.
It looks like the Berries one is a bit more focused on the berries to the left. But thats not a big problem.
Im quite interested, what brand Lenses do you use, Cannon or a aftermarket Lens company such as Tamron?

Thanks! I don't at the moment, my friend is helping me make one. I do have my own business as a photographer, but it's not my primary source of income.

I have Canon 18-55mm that came with the body, a Canon 75-300 mm, and a Tamron 18-250mm, which is on my camera about 90% of the time. While it's really better to stick with the manufacturer of the body's lenses for quality, Tamron is a solid brand and it works very well.

Also, F5.6, 1/200, 18-55mm Lens.

I really like this one. Nice contrasts and good exposure. Also has a good use of lines.

You're a brilliant photographer, man. It really is a shame that photos aren't permitted in the portal, but the dozens of crap photos tend to offset the few good ones.

Well thank you, kind sir. Yeah, I'd love it if we could post photography to the art portal, but everyone would disapprove because all these kids with point and shoots would spam the art portal with shots of trees and whatnot. Of course, the scouting system should fix that. One of these days, we might be able to get it allowed. You never know.

18-55mm Lens F3.5 3/1 First attempt at this long exposure deal. Could have come out much nicer, but oh well. I can get a chance to redo this every night.

You have an eye for what makes a good photo, but remember the rule of thirds! If you keep by that you will see a vast improvement in your shots, also remember to shoot in as much light as possible with close up subjects so more of what you want is in focus. Those are the things that I can see would immediately improve your work, remember them and you could be well on your way to some great shots.

Quality work, you should set up a stock photography site man i bet you could re-license this type of stuff many times. The lighthouse one is my favorite, just enough structure remaining in the dark areas and pretty much unbeatable subject. Framing seems a bit awkward on the horse one.
