These images are part o what will be my first photo series of work. I'm still in the development stages and would greatly appreciate any outside feedback that my help me to better adjust what I have done thus far.
Thanks to anyone willing to lend their advise.
You may want to post your equipment and settings as this may help others give you tips and advice. First image is ok but the second two look a little off focus-wise. If you have not done so already, I would trawl the net, you-tube etc, for tutorials. There's a lot out there and of course there are tutorials on this site.
Thanks for the help.
I found this, quite a useful resource for someone starting out.

Hi David. These are too dark to be interesting. The first photo has ok composition but needs a lot of work. Keep trying
Your absolutely right. I'll make the proper changes.
I'm not sure that that feedback is absolutely right. It is a valid opinion. You as the artist can take feedback but your opinion of your work and how it achieves your goals is most important. I would be interested in knowing how you would describe your concept for this series. What are you going for? I personally love dark and moody as you would see on my profile. Let's here what you think about/want for these and then we can help you get there.
While I wouldn’t say these are uninteresting, I do agree they are pretty dark. If you plan to print these, they will look even darker. Try something like this to at least get the light reflections in the water to pop.
Thanks for the feedback. I edited on a bright screen and I think after a while I became blind to my mistake. I'll definitely revise my edit.
If you are using a Windows-based PC< modern versions have built-in calibration software. Not as good as a proper calibration through specialized hardware, but worth doing if no other option.
Thanks, I'll look into that.
Here's a new version I did.
Very nice update!
Thanks
It's an improvement on the original, so it looks like you are learning as you go - there's a lot of experimentation and reflection in photography so keep it up.
