Yes, no?[/QUOTE]
Blacks are too clipped, little too saturated on the greens, kinda boring content but not bad.
I didn't actually edit it at all.
Then it's underexposed.
You also have a bit of dust in the corner, might want to buy a blower and just dust off your sensor a bit. It's not remotely dangerous and relatively good at getting most dust specs

Been down to the Chillago caves, quite interesting formations down there.

Second one is super homey and nice, incredibly inviting. Excellent shot. First one though I think could have benefitted from a wider perspective of the whole structure, to me it seems like it would make it more complete of a scene.
I really dig the second one. Kind of like the framing on it and the colors are great. I agree with Trogdon, the first shot might have been even better if we could see more of the structure.
Random shot I did a while ago:

I would have liked to have done this, but I have yet to acquire a wide for the 67 (don't hit me Marley) and I was backed up against a wall.
Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while, but today I got home from a three week India trip, so I suppose maybe some photos are in order! :)

Ah I see, well then you did great with what you had. Save up to get a wide m'boy. Looking for a 55mm?

Nice photographs, but I think personally in the first one you could have done with putting a shallower depth of field into the photograph, at least in the left middle third. It's just that those things that I assume are foundations draw my eye to them rather quickly.
If you're into that sort of style(street photography), I'd suggest you have a look at [url=http://thrasherphoto.com/fine-art.html]Jason Thrasher's[/url] "fine art" section. I did a bit on his work the other month in a college assignment. He's got a rather varied set of areas in photography. :)
Feel free to criticize my work. I did these a few days ago in a makeshift studio at my college.

The second of the two is the completely raw and unedited jpeg.
Just recently got my first DSLR (Nikon D3200), and took a bunch of shots on a trip to New York City today. I am a complete beginner, but I do think these turned out nice. (These are just a few out of around 50)

The bottom two are portrait-like practices of myself (left) and a friend. I also took a shot at removing blemishes/all around improving our looks :v:
For a complete beginner they're not too bad, actually. You seem to know what to shoot and when, but I'm not sure if that's happy accident or good timing and appreciation of light (I'll give the benefit of the doubt).
For portraits try not to clip off parts of the head, unless you're making a point of reference for a certain body feature or expression.
The only problem with the first two is your zooming. You should have gotten either closer (To remove the sign) or further away to include it as a contrast (Red is a good color to add contrast, especially if you brighten the reds in post production)
The street vender could have been much more dramatic if you made him the main point if interest by zooming/moving closer to him. Moving your angle to remove the hotdog stand and more of him interacting with the crowd - but that's not an easy thing to do as a beginner.
However, the atmosphere is solid and the colours are lovely. The composition is wonky, but you seem to have an eye for knowing exactly what makes the frame interesting.
A respectable start - especially as you didn't decide to post macros of flowers and bits of fence! (Like me!)
I just got really bored

Original, because I always like to see it, so I thought I should too.
Haven't gotten out and done any shots lately. I just need to go out and start snapping stuff. Last stuff I did was on Thanksgiving when I went and saw family but the shots I got were all so "meh" in terms of composition, lighting, etc so it's almost like they just can't be edited in any possible way to make them look even remotely decent...
It's really de-motivating

To be honest, "zoom on the eye" has been done to death and back in many better ways. I appreciate th thought behind it and that you showed it to us but to me they all look like not enough effort has been put into them. Just nothing outstanding at all, yet nothing "daily" enough to justify a "taken out of the ordinary"-framework.
Just a very .... vanishing ... middleground.

Yes, no?[/QUOTE]
There's just nothing happening in it. No subject, no emotion, no story to tell. I guess compositionally, it's on the thirds, but otherwise it's pretty dull.

It's abit vivid, perhaps turn down the saturation. But its a cool photo, with nice texture and a hidden house
