Post one image only, with a title that is intended to start a discussion about the image.
Do not post an image with an ambiguous title, or a title that just describes the image. Posts with non-discussion-oriented titles will be removed.
Have fun and be nice.
r/BeginnerPhotoCritique is a space where it's cool to post your novice image and ask for others' thoughts and opinions.
Welcome to BeginnerPhotoCritique! Post single images only- no links to Imgur albums, galleries, or your entire Instagram (links to single Insta images, posted solely for critique and not "hey, check out my Instagram," are fine).
The sub is an offshoot of r/Beginning_Photography, and is here to provide a place where new, beginning, and inexperienced photographers can post their images for general feedback, thoughts and critique.
While subs like r/photocritique are great for getting feedback, often they cater to more intermediate or advanced photographers, which can be intimidating for some Redditors. Here, we don't care how new you are, if you post a photo with a serious intent for feedback, we'll try to give it. The only thing asked in return is that you also participate in giving others some feedback as well- it's a great way to learn to think and talk critically about your work.
We're brand-new, so currently the rules are few:
Post one image, with a title that is intended to start a discussion about the image. Posts with a title that just describes the image or that just list the camera and lens used will be removed.
Please do not post an image with an ambiguous title. Posts with non-discussion-oriented titles will be removed.
Keep in mind that this is a critique sub. If you can't handle people picking apart your work, pointing out errors, asking why you did something a certain way, or suggesting ways to make it better, then don't post at all. "Gentle" and "Kind" are not really adjectives that mesh well with asking for critical opinions of your work. If you're fishing for puppies-and-unicorns comments on your work, you probably shouldn't hang around in a critique sub. Post accordingly. We aren't r/RoastMe- your job as someone offering critique isn't to insult people.
That said: Keep it civil. Have fun and be nice. This is a spot for developmental and amateur images. No one expects perfection. Keep it constructive.

Please critique composition.
I wanted to know opinions on composition and also, this seems blurry buy I couldn't get it any better with the sun coming up and lack of light.

Please critique. Just starting out (again)

I took this picture on the go, could I have done something about the sky before editing
Any tips are welcome of course!

I’m a beginner trying to experiment with dramatic shadows, how did i do?
i really like George Hurrel’s photographs and that style in general. (I also love jazz album covers) i have some interest in doing portraits but for now ive just been taking pictures of objects I find interesting, mostly my instruments or sometimes i will arrange objects around the house in dioramas. With this one I found the glare to be distracting, but otherwise like it; however, i’d love to hear if anyone has any tips on composition and lighting. I’ve been reading some art books and have learned some basic rules, but find what makes a composition to be pleasing or not to my eye still quite mysterious. I also don’t know anything about editing but want to learn, so if there’s anything I should be doing on that side of things i’d love to hear it!

Improve Composition
I was a little late last week but I saw an amazing sunrise and then found a perfect place to take the photo so I am headed back this weekend. I went ahead and took a picture of the location though to garner some feedback.
I'm interested to know how you would tweak the composition? The sunrise should end up right through this cattle gate and be framed pretty well.
What would you change though, closer/farther from the gate?
Less of the gravel road on the near side?
I'm fairly new to this so I'm not sure what would make this a great photo.
Note: I am taking photos for a 4-H County Fair.

New to 35mm film - thoughts?
Hi all! I’ve recently begun shooting 35mm film and just got a roll back with this silly picture of my doggo. It’s completely unedited and I’ve been playing around with light/shadows. I’d love feedback on my composition, lighting, or anything else that stands out!

Online upscaler made it worse?
I've captured this photo on my phone so it was very poor and I used an online upscaler after editing the s*** out of it, but now I'm afraid it looks way too unnatural and AI generated. What should I have done better? Anything I can do to fix it?

Happened to like what I shot here. Was thinking about capturing a peaceful workplace. Any thoughts on this?

New to digital and first time with a camera in over 20 years. I used an eos rebel t7 with a nifty 50 lens. Followed recommendations and used iso 100 f/1.8. Trying to learn low light photography. Difficult to experiment because it was pouring rain this evening, but a lot going on here with the water reflecting light.
