I like #2 most. Only problem I see with #2 is you needed a little bit more light on the cats face and eyes (compensate with flash?).

For the car, see josh and hibbs photos. They useually put more focus on the subject. You have a decent angle, but that much grass and sky is too distracting for me.

x2 on the car. Also try waiting untill later in the evening or early in the morning. The light will be better for outdoor pics. I learned that the hard way. I tryed taking pics of my car during the day, the sun would wash out the photo. The best pics I have taken are on cloudy days or in the early evening.

The black and white looks good on #3 & #4

Thanks for the comments. I just took #1 on Sunday and I loved it. #2 is one of my favorites.
And I agree with the car, seems a bit washed out. Just got my exhaust painted so I went out and took some pictures;)
I'll keep in mind all the advice you guys gave me. Thanks a lot!
Any more is welcome!

You have potential.

Your use of depth of field is quite good (if that's what you intended) ;)

I'd suggest you review the rule of thirds. Especially the car and, to a lesser extent, the cats - the B&W shots actually have good application of that rule, so I'm not sure what happened with the others.

All in all, good work. :up:

Thanks for the kind words! Yea, I'm fimiliar with the rule of thirds. I'll keep that in mind! I always try to stay away from taking pictures with the object right in the middle. Rules or thirds takes that further though.

For some reason I like #1 but #3 is my favorite.

I just love how he's hiding behind that one branch in #1, makes me laugh:D Thinks he's all that.Always acting like a lion in the tall grass, haha.
