These are two of my first ever pictures, and i do like them just wonder what you think.
Im 17 and have only been taking photos for around a month.

This is the London Eye taken when I spent a week in london about 3 days after I got my camera.

Like the first one :thumbs: - interesting textures all round. I can't decide whether the pole on the right balances the photo or is in the way :shrug: and I'd be tempted to clone out the boats on the horizon.

Your lens looks like it needs a thorough clean :D

They're nice - you're certainly on the right lines. There's a similar London Eye pic in my flickr stream. I think they both show some pretty good composition ideas. The border does nothing for the 1st one though.

thankyou, and on the lens cleaning tip off, how do i do it!? ive got a UV filter on my lens so i guess its just that which needs cleaning.

Thanks for the CC though :)

the best thing for cleaning a lens,or filter is to blow some air on it with a rocket blower or canned air if you want to be posh that gets rid of dust/grit e.t.c .
if that gets rid of the muck then leave it at that.
if more thorough cleaning is needed then eclipse solution & pec pads do the job nicely.

Quite a good composition in the first one. Just a little bit chopped off the sky at the top and get them boats to come a bit closer and it would have been perfect :)

Ah thanks for the compliment Rob and cheers daft for the lens help!
Ill definatly do that, ill get a lens cleaning kit as soon as I can get to the shop!
