Hey,

I want to see what you guys think of my pictures. While I think they look good, I may have no idea what I'm talking about. Please tell me anything I could do to improve these pictues.

Could you tell me what causes the ghosting on the flower in this one?

#1 -- Kinda G. O'Keefe. Well done, though. I like those creamy colors and textures.

#2 -- Kinda boring (sorry), plus the b&w tones are a little flat and lacking in contrast.

#3 -- Nicely graphic and colorful, although it feeels like I've seen it too many times. Not sure if I like the reflections on the balls or not. What do you think?

#4 -- My favorite of the bunch -- #1 being second-- original and I think the crack on the forehead adds some reality and vulnerablility, as well as adds the feeling of dimesnion -- almost like cross-hatching.

Welcome aboard!
