I've just started to get in to photography lately and was looking for some tips. My work is macro and wildlife photography. Criticize my work.

please resize your photos to 1000px before posting. Nobody will bother to click on them when they are 5000 pixels wide.
>>2733024
Thanks, I'll resize.
>>2733027
well you dont have to resize it, you can lower the quality too. 1000px is just reccomended.
make sure the file size is ~1mb
as for the photos. they're pretty boring and dull, try different framing, dont be afraid to crop and/or take the photo that you know you can crop to re-frame later.

could've tried this front facing (dont worry htough this is similar to the first photo I took too when I started getting interested into photo taking)
>>2733022
this could be centered. when either taking the shot or cropping it on pc.

eh. A sparrow flew into my house and I had to catch (I did and let it out). This reminded me of that. Anywho, snapshit, all are, no worries, try work it in lightroom or something, change colours a bit. It's sparrows, not much you can do.
Best way to start is just to do it. Like when you're taking a photo of a mountain, look iat it from all angles, dont be afraid to take heaps of phjotos. Better to take it delete than regret not taking it at all.
