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.

Thoughts on the composition? This here is one the the busiest streets in lahore on the weekdays but, on a sunday morning its like a ghost town. The old man is a story in himself with a sad vibe

Vintage look
Took this pic at the local track this summer and revisited it now. How can i improve the «vintage film» look in lightroom?

Just getting started and a bit baffled on what happened. Any tips and education welcome.
Tried my hand at nightime and museum/dark indoor photography.
All the pictures have a lot of noise, especially on the outside pics which are not sharp. The Orb shows dark lines that I am not sure how to get rid off. Tried a few different things but it kept showing up.
Settings are
WB: Cloudy / Indoor
f2.8
ISO 23000
1/640
Any critique welcome, I am eager to learn and improve.

Would love some kind CC!
Saw an opportunity for a nice fall picture and rolled with it. This was taken on and edited with my phone as I'm still in the stages of deciding what camera is right for me. Would love any helpful tips, thanks!!

Experimenting with lower light, shadows
I'm just starting out, and experimenting with lower light photo settings. This doesn't look very crisp, and generally curious to hear feedback on composition. I was trying to convey the coziness and calmness of this room at night, and I liked how the shadows played off the shutters at varying widths. I know this photo doesn't "pop" and could use a lot of work, but that means I have nowhere to go but up. :)
Thanks for your honest feedback!

When photographing sunrise/ sunset, what factors go in to determining location/ framing of the horizon?
Pic taken with my phone, so not looking for input on settings - ISO, etc. For framing I tried a few with more sky/less land and vice versa. Nearly evenly split, i think this one has the best framing, but would like some input on where to best put the horizon.

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!
photo taken with Canon ftb, canon 50mm lens and Ilford HP5 400 shot at 1600 (my first experiment with pushing film)

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.
