Hey, /p/. I'm very new to photography, and if I ask anybody to critique what I've gotten so far, they just say "Yeah, that looks real good" because either they just want to be nice or they really don't know, so I have no idea if I'm total shit or actually decent.
I'm gonna post a few of my more favorite shots so far, and any criticism or feedback would be much appreciated. Be as brutal as you want, I'm really trying to learn here.
If anybody else new wants to see if their work is decent, I guess this would be a good place.

This was shot with a 50mm Canon FD lens held off the body. The tilt effect is genuine, not an Instagram effect.

thank

seems like and exercise in redundancy.
>>2762006
nice setting but i'd rather the focus be on the dog, background being blurred. I understand these are fleeting moments and can't be repeated but making some shrub the focus isn't interesting.
>>2762007
again with the water falls. your framing is poor and her being cut half way really ruins the image, not that it would be interesting if she wasn't cropped, it just makes it worse.

blue pills with instagram filter. A picture tells a story and i think of drug dealing but these are just 200ml Tylenol. Plan out your images or else you are just showing me ordinary every day objects.

I'm not quite sure what her expression is conveying in relation to the setting. Composition isn't great. She seems out of place.
>>2762004
This is OK but not the best angle. The fact that you can see the outside world but only for that slice on the upper left kind of ruins it. Maybe if you'd shot it from the front or something.
>>2762007
The girl adds nothing to this, she is hunched over and half-cropped. Not sure why youd even post this desu.
Keep at it

>blue pills with instagram filter
That one had almost no editing, the filter look is light leaking.
I feel like the most important thing I should work on would be composition. Any particularly good books in that regard?
