I like both but the first picture is awesome!

Brilliant picture, the colour is awesome.

I agree, I'd much rather have someone say my pictures are shockingly bad and then tell me why than have people being polite and saying there good if there not. Plus it's helping me to criticise my own images as I'm taking them and pick up on things I'd of never thought about before.

Ha ha that is some serious attention to detail the Digi. Will do!

Ok first things first I think I'll back off Lightroom and concentrate more on the actual shots, I've learnt a lot just from this thread and know where I'll be focusing my attention on the next shoot. A friend at work was telling me about the thirds rule a bit ago but if forgotten about it. I...

I've not figured out how to do it properly yet Mark so what i do is use the brush tool in Lightroom, make the pic B&W then use the brush to select the area you want in colour and choose the colour from the palette, its not ideal as you can see the soil is off colour and her top is too pale also...

Thanks reheat, I really appreciate the advice and everyone's comments. I'm kicking myself now that I didn't think to take some of the shots you've just outlines whilst I was there. A closer shot of her looking back would of been a lot better. We will be going back there at some point and I'll...

That makes sense, I wasn't really trying to add anything to the pictures I'm just choosing a picture I like and playing with it because that's how I'm learning what I can and can't do with Lightroom. When I did them I quite liked them so I posted them. I accept the 4th pic is pretty crap. It...

I don't mean this in a funny way but is this a standard thing in photography or your opinion? She's not facing the camera as I was taking shots of her walking away naturally. Like I say I've only just started a couple of weeks ago so I'm still learning loads about how to take the best pictures...

She does have her eyes closed on the 1st one as I uploaded the wrong pic. I like the 2nd one. I agree with you on the fourth one, it was just an idea I had that doesn't really work but I was playing with Lightroom more than anything. I struggled with the light a bit on the first pic as the...

Just realised the pics i've posted as originals are not the exact ones but you get the idea.

So we went to YSP today to take some pictures, another opportunity for me to play around with Manual mode and get to grips with the camera, below is jus two pics that i took, i have played with them on Lightroom just for the sake of learning about that also, i have posted the originals as shot...

Thanks Mark, I'm getting into the whole Urban Exploration thing at the moment and live nearby so thought I'd have a quick go. Someone followed me to the door and hung around for a while so I was rushing to get as much as I can and get out again.
