Just 1 year as an amateur photographer. I would like to know the feed back.
I am not good at editing so please any knowledge of editing the pics and framing them or cropping would be very helpful.
Nikon D5500
Tokina 11-16 were used for all shots.
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)
Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.
I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

For just one year of experience these are pretty good, you're definitely off to a good start.
I suggest you work on
- understanding what the histogram actually shows (blacks, shadows, midtones, highlights, whites)
- understanding what dynamic range has to do with the histogram and what clipping means
- understanding what contrast has to do with the histogram
- putting all of the above into practice and maxing out detail by manipulating the histogram
Hints: Personally, I think the Milky Way shots are too bright and have low contrast, the 2 pictures after those lose too much detail in the shadows.
The last one actually is the best of all of them, one could argue that the sun is blown out, but that would be silly. I like it in terms of composition as well as lighting and would suggest only minor changes.
Thank you so much. I will work on every suggestions that you have put forward.
