Beginner my son. is this ok??

I think the composition is ok but it seems very noisy. What did you use and what were your settings?

It's nice enough, but as mentioned above it's either shared at a very poor JPG quality setting or it's very noisy. It's giving it an overall fuzziness.
 
thanks for feedback. I always thought it is a nice shot but that something is wrong with it. what does "noisy" mean...I'm hopeless on the technical side but have ordered a book and will keep posting and asking:)

Digital noise degrading the image - a bit like grain in film. This happens normally at very high ISO levels.
 
what does "noisy" mean
…the aspect produced when a picture seems to have sand like
details (noise) to it.

May occur under these conditions (in digital):
NOTE: grain texture is not to be confused with "digital noise"!
— over the entire frame
when ISO is set too high (noise generation) or
a clearly underexposed shot
— over the darker areas of a scene
when low key recovery is pushed too high (noise generation)​

Noise generation: an artefact resulting in trying to produce information
where there is little or none.

For sure it is… in many ways

On the plus side
— I see a friendly, happy and healthy young man there
— the backlit take, surrounded with highly reflective white
surfaces, render a soft and even light on the subject
— the subject is properly framed​

On the minus side
— the DRL shows incorrect setting in the low lights and there
are, as expected, large portions of the image that are burnt

— The WB is off (too high)
though Sun lit, the paint is reflecting it affecting the WB.
— because of parasitic reflections, the mid tone could be
tweaked down a tad and to taste.

Noise as said is the photographic version of white noise in sound! - I have upped the noise in your image to show what is meant by Noise, usually caused by low light or high ISO settings




In digital photographs, “noise” is the commonly-used term to describe visual distortion. It looks similar to grain found in film photographs, but can also look like splotches of discoloration when it's really bad, and can ruin a photograph. Noise tends get worse when you're shooting in low light
