Some photos taken last week when I went for a little walk.
These are the ones that I think turned out best.
Any comments on what you think and how these could be improved would be much appreciated.

1. lone tree

2. dead tree

3. dead tree HDR

4. cows and pylons

5. pair of swans

6. building

7. door

Thanks for looking,
James

Nos. 5 & 7 are the better ones- swans and doorways always good. The others are less pleasing to my eyes at least. The dead tree has got potential for another visit- you just need to rethink the angle and backgrounds- maybe go in low and close with a wideangle lens?

cheers laser you've definitely given me some stuff to think about next time

i know the subjects of these photos aren't that interesting but this was the best i could find here, lol
although i am surprised you think 5 and 7 were the best, personally i thought those ones were the least appealing of the set!

First one is good. Maybe lose a little of the foreground so the horizon comes 1/3rd the way up.
second one there is not enough detail in the stump to make it interesting and the same for the third one - but you have also nuked it with radioactive HDR to make it even worse!
#4 - cows are too small to see properly and the pylon is boring.
#5 looks a bit under exposed. Easy to over expose swans and you haven't done that Composition could be better. they are looking bottom right so there should be space to the right with the birds nearer the left.
#6 Composition is not too bad but nothing to pick out as a subject.
#7 well it is a doorway but it looks a bit out of focus. Might be more interesting if the wear and tear was sharper.
