So it turns out that I am quite creative by nature, not only is spelling and gramor a creative endeavor, but also sewing, photography, and making things that smell nice.. oh and magic

That blackbird is totally eyeing up someone's garden to see if it's worth scratching up their seedlings to get a worm.
I might be having discussions with two pairs of blackbirds at home right now. We have come to an understanding - I dig the dirt over, then they have two days to gorge themselves on what I dig up, but once the seedlings are in they are to leave it alone and I'll dig up another bit. This seems to be working.
Meanwhile, I like your photos and would like to see more posts from you on my flist. Also, DeviantArt is quite a good site for meeting other people who do creative endeavours, and it has a function where you can request critiques from whatever groups you post to.
well i figure i will begin slow.. by posting here with the photos casue i do have a witchy blog to write for as well.. not that teh writing is happening so much currently.. *frowns*.. and then maybe go over to deviant art and see what they do.. *ponders this*.. so much socialising on line..tehehe..
*bounces*
might have to create some new user pics.. ohh fun!
I'm going to try to give you the same kind of con-crit we did back when I was a photo student.
As far as the blackbird goes there's something a little off about it. I think the focus might be just a bit soft on his face. It's hard to tell since photographing black animals is hard, but it looks like the sharpest focus is on his belly. Any time you have a face try to make the eye your focal point. The rest should fall into place with that.
Other than that, I might change the framing. Instead of having so much background I'd crop it vertically with him still off to one side. The wood chips don't really add anything to it, you know? You have the start of a really good photo, but I think you could tweak it a little more to make it really pop.
The tui, on the other hand, really hits the mark. If it were me I might, again, play with the cropping because tighter is almost always better. He, however, has an interesting background that pulls your eye further into the photo.
ohh.. most helpful, and interesting.. i have a sharper faced photo of the black bird so i will have a little play with that when i get home.. :D
actually i just learnt about teh little read lights of focusing on my camera when you look through the viewfinder.. *coughs* i have only had the camera for two years.. *laughs*.. so now i know about that i will have to pay more attention to them.. *nods*
yeah i like the tui shots... well some of the and this one came out well.. hooray!!
thank you for you feedback.. it is most interesting and helpfuls.. *glee*
I used to love con-crit days in class because I learned so much. Not just listening to others' ideas about my own work, but thinking of ideas how I might improve their work made me turn a more critical eye to my own.
