I went for a walk in the woods and took a few pictures today.
Please give me your thoughts on them .It’s my first snow pictures.
With my canon Rebel t2i .I used an 18-55mm lens. Don’t be shy I can take it
Really? I like this photo. The contrast between the colorful wreath and the muted background makes the main subject "Pop" out. The texture of the background is very interesting.
I would try different crops to moves towards the rule of thirds (not really a rule but a guide). Don't get hung up on that, it's only a guide.
I would have liked to have taken this shot.
Composition is good, but the snow looks a little gray...You might overexpose snow scenes by about 1 to 2 stops as the camera tries to compensate for the excess white in snow scenes...

Good suggestion. Snow does fool the camera.
Check out the attached photo in the first post. I think you'll like that one.
Like the shots a lot- nothing to add except that a lower angle on the second one would be an extra pop for that shot. more of a ground up shot is what I mean

Hey Jim, hey guys..
photo 1, I agree w/what they said about the exposure in the 1st one.
Compositionaly, you have the right idea. I would have went in the same direction. I would have just moved the wreath a little more to the right. I'm not sure the lens focal length you used but something else that can make this composition fun is to use a longer lens, choose a lower f/stop like f/5.6 or lower, zoome up on the wreath and blurr the background. It can a little drama to the overall effect of the photo. I atached an example of what i'm talking about. I shot this birch tree in panorama format but the idea is still the same w/the horizontal "landscape" orientation you took this one in.
The second one is nice also, but my formatt of choice would have been in the "portrait" verticle orientation. The tracks through the boardwak/bridge would have been good foreground leading out into the woods. Actualy, i would have tried both but i believe a verticle would take your eye through this photo a little better. Experimenting is alot of fun and you can compare results and pic your favorite
Thanks for your advice I see what you’re saying, that’s the only ones I could
Upload trying to downsize the others .

If you take them to 1024 they should come up easily.
I know it's basic but Picasa lets you resize when you use the Export feature.

Anything less than 2MB will upload.

Heres what i meant w/the second one. A wide angle verticle shot leading the foreground and your eye out to the top of the photograph. But instead of rocks leading you out to the coast horizon line, the trax through the snow leading you out to the woods... Obviously they are going to look a bit different but i think you get the idea..
ok with the rule of thirds how would you apply it to this pic to me the bridge would be the focal point of interest, would you angle the pic as to have the bridge in in the bottom right or left thid?
