Just some photos (with images)

Nice shots. My advice would be to be mindful of your composition and to make tighter crops when you can.

Thanks for the input. btw I was looking at your super popular castle pic and I feel the same exact way. I am 23 as well, just honeymooned there in November and still get that giddyness; which for me starts as soon as I see the Disney World sign over the highway.

I like the inclusion of some foreground leaves on the castle shot.

I also like the evening Epcot shot.

Go for a wider lens on the self portrait on the roller coaster.

The close up of the giftshop(?) stuff was out of focus, so I wouldn't keep that one.

Great start! Makes me want to be there.

One final comment, can you set up your account so that EXIF data is included with the images? I use a program called EXIF viewer to see the data on the photos posted here, but it didn't register any data for your shots. It's nice to have that info when looking at pics.

Regards,

Boris

Okay, you asked for constructive critisism

Nice composition with the tram heading to the giant golf ball. I'd tighten the cropping a bit. I felt the branches around the edge to be distracting. You have a nice sky but the grass is a bit boring. Good golor though. I think I'd prefer this picture in a 2x3 format, with a bit cropped off the top (branch) and bottom (grass), say 5-6% off each.

I overall like the image but while I like the composition of the tree on the right, I feel the palm branches at the bottom left distract. Think I'd look at trying to clone them out if the picture wouldn't be printed large. Those branches appear closer than the tree, next time the shot presents itself, perhaps raise the camera bit more if you can to get over them while still getting the rest.

I think that this would look nice in HDR. As it is, you have areas that are overexposed and areas that are underexposed. I like the flowing effect.

Seems kind of flat, not really drawing me in. Not sure if it's the flat horizon of the sign or not, perhaps the sign at a slant would help.

Kind of busy, not sure what I should be focusing on. Most of the image seems rather soft/out-of-focus as well.

If I see this correctly, the trees were intended to frame but are getting in the way.

Cropping pieces of people can be a valid compositional technique but it looks like it just sort of happened here. Wider-angle would help.

exif info would certainly be of use.

I'm pretty sure that with flickr, the EXIF data is stripped on the sizes other than original just like with smugmug. Though with flickr it may be all images. Thats one thing I found when using flickr, that no EXIF was ever available on posted images.

Unless people intentionally hide their EXIF data, it's available on Flickr through a link on the lower right hand corner of the page that says "More properties".

Yes, but it is stripped from the image when you post a link in a forum like this.

I'm using smugmug, which I like, but I didn't realize that it stripped the EXIF data when images are posted in a forum like this. I'm irritated by that.

I was over on the smugmug forums, and asked about this, and it appears that they make it somewhat easy to post a link to the EXIF data for an image, but one cannot post the image with data still attached.

Has anyone found a way to circumvent this?
