I said that a couple of weeks ago I went to Nicks and Andrew took a few pictures, again. Not many this time as the boys started playing football. Anyway, I turned these into icons ... all are snaggable, as ever.

These are lovely. I really like #8. It speaks to me somehow.

Andrew has an amazing "eye" ... he wants to go into engineering, but art would be his calling, I think.

I like his woodland paths ... he does like taking photos of the sun though.

Like the paths and the sunlight. Nice nature icons. All that icon making is showing.

[debris4spike]

Yes, the woodland paths are great.

I don't know - I feel the pictures were great, all I needed was to focus on where to crop.

[louise39.livejournal.com]

The cropping brought your eye to the most important parts.

Thank you!

Really good icons, you did very good with the cropping. The only one that I find could be improved (if you don't mind me saying) is #7. To make it more easy to appreciate it needs a little more space to the right. There's this little like "guide" to keep photos armonius and interesting for the eyes. It goies like this: In your head try to imagine this division over the picture you're going to take or crop or manip, etc.

You keep the most important subject, the one that you want to stand out, close to any of the four center poins where the lines intersect. It's not a math formula, it doesn't have to be exact or anything and it's not a guarantee either, but it does help a lot.

I see you take great pics, (I specially love the ones you take of roads!) and I don't know if you knew about this little helping guide, but if you didn't I'm just trying to give you a little something to make you even greater, 'cause you have a good eye, darling.

Thanks for that reminder.

I know with roads it's good to focus on a bend, if you can.

I really need to spend some time both behind a camera, as well as looking at images, and re-focus my eye on what works best.

I'm not a great photographer and I'm not going to be one (according to the prof I'm a little bit too abstract, which really means a lot of my pics don't really make much sense! LOL), but I did take some classes and I remember the professor was always saying that it's all about practice and experimentation. Keep in mind a couple of guiding rules (like the division of space) and you just take as many photos as you can! And you can be great! I encourage you to keep taking photos 'cause you do a great job, I think you have the eye for it! :D
