dun know about the abstract factor....but 1 and 3 will make good landscape shots nonetheless....

btw....3rd shot in landscape will look even nicer.....

[dda95]

hey.. thank you.. that's much better! more mood and 'feel' to the picture. makes the cloud stands out more

nopeee... dun mind at all. that's what photography is all about isn't it? experience and experimentation

[user111]

technical issues aside..all the photos look good

Your photo was good to start with.

the 3rd picture's very very nice.... very nice blue.... very nice piece of cloud in the middle of the sky...

Especially like the third picture.

hey.. thank you guys.. really really appreciate your comments.. very encouraging! almost didn't post the third pic cos i tot it was too plain!

[Stefen]

do ignore my comments if you think they are a tad harsh, but i feel there isn't much "feeling" in your pictures.

imho, shots like these do not really evoke any emotion in me, and they look normal, with a pleasant background to match.

perhaps, a sense of motion (slow shutter, during high winds) or a picture taken at a lower angle (esp for first shot) will generate more than a 'first' look.

but a good effort, since you are a newbie. keep it up!

dun worry! critique is very welcomed here! i'm still learning.. so it's one of the ways to improve i'd find my style one day..

i like pic 3 too..... very nice... the look of the fence extending all the way to horizon....

Mmm. How come sometimes I can see the photo but sometimes cannot.
