First off, welcome to PR.com, I hope you learn as much as possible here from your contributions and those of the others too.

Your photos are a bit large. Normally, we post files no bigger than 600 pixels around here, it is just easier to view at that size.

I look forward to seeing more from you.

I agree, it is a bit hard to see your photos in their entirety, since you have to scroll over to do so... Can you resize them, and then edit your original post??


Thx!

Unit-14, 1290 pixels wide is way too wide for people to really appreciate your photographs. I have a large screen and resolution and even I need to scroll.
I'm more than happy to review your shots once you've made them smaller, but not now ;)

[Unit-14]

Ok guys, sorry about the BIG pics. I resized them now, so all should be good.

Our only other "rule" around here(other than being constructive and not rude) is to post no more than five photos per day.
I like the first image the best.
Good quality of light and placement of the windmill in the frame.

I took the cow off, so that I could fit in the rule that says only 5 images per post.

They're all decent shots generally speaking (sharp, well-composed, etc.).

I like the first one the best because of the quality of the light, the interesting elements that are balancing the frame (tells us about the place more than the other shots) and the texture. I will say the overall contrast is a tad flat. Some highlight and shadow work could be just the ticket to add a bit more "punch"; then you've really got something for your next big print.


I also think the fourth shot has real potential as a landscape, you just need to zoom in a bit more next time and get that extra half-stop of exposure. A bit less sky, a bit more foreground and more detail of the mountain itself (because of the zoom). Otherwise though, you saw something there that is worth capturing IMO. Next time I'm sure you'll get it.
