First time in astrophotography

Just learned how to take good low light photography and went straight to attempt some out in the mountains.

I was trying to keep in focus the bonfire and the sky, which resulted kind of hard.

Amateur looking for advice on fundamentals

I am someone who is interested in photography and has only ever fiddled with it as a hobby. I would like a camera soon to take it more seriously.

Any critique for this quick shot I took on a hike yesterday using my phone. I know the camera could be improved by beyond that.

Bubble Vision 2.0

I like to add unexpected elements into my self portraits but I’m feeling a little stuck with this one when it comes to editing.

Would love some feedback on how it could be polished. I love high-end retouching, but I don’t employ it on my self-portraits (it’s a personal boundary I’ve set).

Thanks!

Looking for photo/image composition advise

I took this photo on one of my recent trips to the countryside in Costa Rica, I have a Cannon R50 and used a Cannon 50-210mm lens for this picture. I used ISO 100, 83mm, F5.6 and 1/320s.

The picture I do love, however, I have been tinkering with Raw formats, currently have the camera set for JPEG and Raw, so I take the Raw and play with it a little bit with Corel Draw, I happened to have a license so I have been learning how to use it.

However, the original JPEG looks alive, greener and the edited one from the Raw looks yellowish, and the objective was to increase its "liveliness", make it more alive, greener, but I failed hehe (sinxe I can only attach one pic, I cannot show you the edited version).

So my question is from the perspective that have been learning photography for less than 2 months, so there is much I dont know yet:

-Any advise that can make a the picture like that better? Image composition ok? Zoom fine? (Looking for anything that can help me learn)

-(totally optional question, more interested on the first question) How can I achieve a more alive, greener, more intense color sensation with the raw image with edits? Is the secret the contrast or saturation?

Suggestions please?

Shot with Nikon D7500 with 18-140mm lens. Recently went for Trekking and shot these.

I'm new to Photography, just bought camera 2/3 months back and haven't got much time to take shots.

Which ones good and which needs to be improved.

Shot in the morning around 9am to 11am, some part it was cloudy.

Getting into film

Hi all I am just getting into film (overall still a novice at photography). I feel most comfortable taking photos at work as I have a good understanding of where people will be and be doing at a specific time. A lot of my photos are kind of in this vein. Anything I should look out for? There is no post in this photo so any editing advice is welcome too!!

I took this pic a while ago but just now rediscovered it

I actually took this when I was a kid on my mom’s camera.
