Photo Feedback Thread (General)

After a conversation between Billboard and I in his build thread I thought this would be a good idea. there will be two versions of this, one for automotive pics and one for all other pics. THIS THREAD IS FOR ALL NON-AUTOMOTIVE PICS.
here are the rules.
1-only post one pic at a time
2-before your picture you must give constructive criticism on at least one picture posted earlier in the thread. what you liked or didnt like, not just "nice pic" either, be specific.
3- do not post in this thread if you cant handle contsructive criticism. not everyone will like your pic as much as you do, and those that do like it may not like it for the same reason as you.
4-if you do not have or choose not to post a pic feel free to offer feedback about pics as well, since that is the point of this thread
5-have fun, this is all about helping each other get better at something we enjoy.
I will begin:

one i took last weekend-- my friend luke skimboarding...
"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs."

and my next pic:
nice setup for my grinders, soaps ... two pair ...
getting pivots here is a nono grrr...
great picturegallore
: )
another one from skimboarding... i will go take new pix soon...
Here is my lame attempt. I haven't done anything to this pic as I am not good with Photoshop or anything of the sort. I just wait until my colors are right to prevent a whole lot of editing.
We were out walking in the woods and I walked upon this and thought it would make a nice black and white.
This is a nite shot I took recently. I overexposed the picture a bit to capture as much light as possible. That did something weird to the color of the gravel, which is usually a light beige.
Bill-the water effect is way cool. i assume you did that using layers? which i suck at using. the surreal colors are kind of your trademark, i love it. do you have a saved action you use to watermark your images? if so please share....LOL
Rage-i like the colored flowers against the plain color of the branches in the first pic. the second pic is really good. you are right it makes an excellent B and W photo. maybe tweak the contrast a little for more pop, but the pic is great. If you dont want to learn photoshop but still want to do some basic editing to your pics try downloading google's picasa [ http://picasa.google.com/ ]. it is free and good for most basic editing and a few fun other things too. i find that i edit >90% of my pics, so you may find it helpful.
and now my pic. i shot this pick of the best man looking at the guest book at a wedding i shot recently:
not an effect; its actually water that is shooting up... i messed with the
saturation and some of the tones of the image... but the pic is only 3
layers; the pic itself/the border/and text....
but the rest of the photo doesn't work for me.
it looks like the photo was an accident.
(i really like ragenasian's forest pic.)
let's try this photo of mine:
: )
i'm a sucker concerning Billbees pix...
vivid, crisp, treat for my eyes, despite of the black borders
Eagle Beagle you need to trim your beard and it looks like you have trees growing out of your ear
Here are some others. Remember I don't touch up any of my pictures. I believe in todays digital age you no longer have to have a good eye but more of just a good program.
everything looks great so far guys!
here is an unfinished project i worked on for a photoshop class haha. about 2 hours in all (including taking photo's)
My (new) favorit:
Did a little bit of work to the photo.
Now I know I'll probably get bagged for this but I took this with a Kodak digital, then edited the image quite a bit, mostly looking for criticism on my editing.

shadow, same tone
minimalism ? ...
uhm...dont take
blackandwhite
literally ?

enlight me (harharhar : )
(o.0)
(")(") uH ?!
oh yes, the 'infamous' post-editing ...
if it was the sticker you wanted, i would have
choosen a more dominant position in the frame
e.g. crop, or one of the other thousend ways
to attract attention, i would have used the
background texture(s), to emphasize the sticker
different story, 2nd /rear curtain flash
for the spokes, difficult to judge

I just got myself a mac and so this is from the 1st batch of shots I took and uploaded into iphoto.
I "sharpened" this one up a tiny bit, and nudged the contrast a bit to: I thought it helped the snowflakes bestill themselves a bit.
Here's mine:

From my trip last Saturday with a friend to the Factory Five open house.
here is a picture of each of my daughters i did recently:
I wish I had a cool photo shop program to edit my pics. I can adjust color and lighting slightly when I upload from my SD card. Here's some of my attempts. I have more I want to post, but files are too big. I'll edit them smaller and post when I have time.
Nice.. great depth of field on this one.. I really like the saturation too.. What lens was this one shot with?
Took this one in NYC with a disposable camera.... I don't know how it came out like this but I love it.
These next two I took with a camera I made out of a pringles can!
this is my favourite so far. simple, uniform and good composition
here a few of mine ive found (thought it would be easier to post them all, rather than one at a time?)
