I'm quite new and trying to improve.

This picture is not good, but I feel like, it should have been, or could have been something. Please help me to improve my processing and composition.



I agree that this could be something, but it really feels like the whole shot lacks focus, I don't really know what I'm supposed to be looking at. Also did you shoot it through a window? Or what is the glare, it's really distracting as well. I think you just need to pick something and focus in on it.



I went out hiking the other day (50 in Upstate NY in February is really odd) and took a few pictures but I feel like they are lacking something, I wish I could have waited to go out a few hours for sunset, but the park closed too early

Here are some of mine. Christmas tree went up, so I tried shooting things up close in something beside daylight for the first time ever. I know essentially nothing, so hack away.

The first picture seems to lack anything in particular to look at. The contrast with the ball and the tree is a bit lacking, but I think a little more light could help that out. I really like the angel topper, its got this creepy sort of vibe to it which is really awesome, the shadows and lighting are spot on, but the foreground has a lot of stuff in it, that would be my only critique. The last picture I really like, but I'm not sure if you where trying to make the alphabet block the focus or the glass bell. I really like how the alphabet block came out, but its fairly blurred in the front lower left, but then again I don't do a lot of macro stuff.
