[Igor Mazor]

I am trying to grow as a photographer, so please give your honest opinion of my pictures.

The first one has amazing light texture in the water. As a pure sllhouette, I think you need more definition around the head. Composition probably needs to be a bit less centered. Second and third are also interesting.

The strongest one photographically out of this bunch is the last one. Good exposure, nice soft colours, great composition and simplicity to it.

That being said, I also really like your first shot here. I think i can see the idea behind it, though the execution hasn't nailed it down. I think had you had the bird against the golden colours throughout it would've been stronger. the fact the beak and the head is in the dark areas really hurt that one.

good stuff overall

Welcome Igor. I think you'll find the feedback here is both honest and helpful.

I agree that the bottom one is the strongest both in mood and composition. Looks like a classical example of the rule of thirds, and it definitely works. I might have given it a little more space at the bottom and a tad less above the tree, but that's really subjective. I am curious why the image seems so noisy though: did you shoot it hand held at a fast ISO? Break out that tripod.

The first is OK and well exposed for the reflection. But the bird's head is simply too dark for it to really work. Too bad the reflection isn't more behind the head.

The horses are a nice catch. Totally agree that shooting it to catch the mood is by far the most important thing, but I think that the fence behind them , and road, isn't very flattering to the photo. I think the way it works is great subject and capture = good shot, great background = good shot, but great subject AND background = GREAT shot.

I really like the way the leaves are laying on the ground of the elegant building. Looks like the 'party's over.' But I find the way the building is chopped off at the top very distracting.

Anyway - good shots and post more. Try one at a time though, unless they're part of a series, for better critique.

Thank you for your valuable input.

I think the first one is tilted. And it would be better if you would have moved to your right a bit.

The second one needs more room or get a close-up shots of the heads and necks only.

The third one is not really that bad and the forth one, as said, is the best of the bunch.

The bird photo would be great if the beak wasn't merged with the shadow. Could you lighten the beak or provide a light dividing line between the beak and the water.
