Too get fullsize photos in ur post use photobucket instead of imageshack ... I learned yesterday :)

Even if U dont get tons of comments .. just post ... U will eventually .... without posts .. noone can give U C+C -> u cant improve without posting in a way .. I guess.

Short C+C :
I think U have to work on ur composition & maybe make them more interesting to look at by zooming in for more detail .. highlighting interesting parts of things instead of a general photo of a scene .

Just IMO :)

BTW welcome to CA :-)

EDIT : THX for info .. Ill have another look at imageshack :)

Post Scribbles : I think U can certainly still improve ur photos in a prog like Photoshop or GIMP or whateva ... & adjust contrast etc. & cut things apart :)

The second one is your strongest, as far as composition goes. Nice use of space and the perspective breaks up the frame nice. I agree that some of the shots could use a little PSing, levels or curves might help some exposure issues...

Egypt looks like a great place to shoot... I need to get out of Colorado more... Sigh.

Hey Again! Thanks for the comments, I appreciate both critics and praise.
You know you are right, i dont zoom into particular things that catch my attention. That's coz i have a tiny 2.0 MegaPixel Sony Cybershot Camera.. it's a tiny bit larger than my thumb, it Doesn't have zoom at all!
But Anyway, here's more stuff that you may like.

That's all, for now, Hope you liked them. Just keep in mind that my camera has it's flaws, okay?
God Bless

A lot better :)

Okay ur camera has flaws but what U can do .. is do a general photo & do a fake zoom by cropping the image in e.g. Photoshop.

That last photo is out of focus maybe just that little bit :D ... ur capturing the lovely vanishing lines created by the objects ... to have it more balanced oud have to I guess stand on the road .. but U m8t be flattened .. worth the risk ?

Just my comments :)

[claudeEGYPT]

As before, thank you for the comments, i will try to adjust my photos a bit, you dont succeed until you fail and try again.
so here's a few more to add to the fine list, maybe this time things'll work better.
