Here is some critiques
Afternoon sky and Eastern passage would look better if they were level. (Picasa can do those easy things and it is free!)
The Rose - The shadow in the back ground is a little distracting, A more even back ground and it would make the rose stand out more.
And the light house is good, but it would be more interesting if you got lower and had more of the foreground, the line in the bottom middle of your photo leading up to the light house is a strong point where it can draw the viewers eye in.
I think you are doing good, just focus on keeping the pictures straighter Hope that has helped!

Thanks - much appreciated!
Yeah I tried to make them level when I was taking them, but I don't have a steady hand (and I didn't have anything to rest on). Oooh thanks I'll look into that.
I was taking it against my wall which has posters just off to the right hand side, so I was a little limited! I'll definitely bear it in mind though!
That was literally the only chance I had to take it without people in the frame as it was really busy that day But I see your point - its a useful feature to look out for in the future
Thanks again!

You are welcome!
If you're using a little point and shoot they can be a pain in the butt. Picasa has level adjustment, saturation, contrast. The simple things that will add a bit more impact to your photos. Or you can get GIMP . . . More complicated to use but a much better program.
Even just hanging a sheet up can give a nice even background.
Like everything it is practice and learning

Hey you ! How has your weekend been treating you ? I hope you are having some nice weather ! Has the volcano going off affected you ? Really reminds me when Mt Redoubt blew last year. The town got a little messy with the ash fall
Take care !

Hey, its been treating me well thanks Yeah we've had quite a few nice sunny days recently! Not directly, but I do have friends and family stranded abroad. The ash is supposed to be falling down at some point, they think, although I havent seen any! How has your weekend been?

That he does... and men complain that us women nag too much! Its their fault haha

tacosteev In reply to gemando [2010-05-13 19:25:16 +0000 UTC]
That is because women do nag too much. You should just realize that guys don't do things the first time because a)they will get around to it or b) they were not paying attention the first time and are innocent of not doing what they were not aware they were supposed to do

gemando In reply to tacosteev [2010-05-17 17:24:24 +0000 UTC]
This may be true, but its only cause a)they should have got round to it a week ago or b) we have to tell them again!

tacosteev In reply to gemando [2010-05-18 03:22:11 +0000 UTC]
I will give you the "A" point, but "B" falls under my "they were not listening when you told them the first time" point
I am personally anal about how things look...at least things that other people will see. My room is a stye, but my front room and kitchen are clean

gemando In reply to tacosteev [2010-05-18 12:52:48 +0000 UTC]
Yeah.. I got a bit stressed/annoyed with my flatmates the other day when I came in to find that the kitchen was a mess, and I needed to tidy it up before I could work or cook.. and as usual none of it was my mess!

tacosteev In reply to gemando [2010-05-18 23:23:51 +0000 UTC]
That right there is frustrating. I lived with someone for about a month. I cared about how the place looked and he didn't. Lets just say the arrangement didn't work out
