The only two that look to me to be in focus are the Muskovy and the ducklings, none are really sharp and you should always focus on the eyes, I dont know what program you have Pp'd them with. Also
the exif says you are at 300mm which would not help as possibly the lens is not at its sharpest.

Nice, but colors are flat. Theses photos need a better post production traitment

Where's it gone to ?????

[sony_photographer_jake]

I removed my pictures due to negative comments. I have had most of those pictures published in the papers. I have had some very good feedback from some really good photographers.
I didn't do any PP. I don't believe in post production, I prefer to try and get the best colour from the camera sensor and not "cheat" using PP.

Sorry, but if you think that post-processing is 'cheating' perhaps you're in the wrong hobby. For one thing it's been done for over 150 years and the very finest photographers in history have done it. I'd say that none of the photographs you see on this site as 'Picture of the Day' are straight out of camera.

If you were using film, then a well-exposed transparency may give you exactly what you want, but a modern DSLR gives Jpegs that are deliberately 'flat' and 'dumbed down' to give average results. You only need to accept them if you're an average photographer. Once you shoot Raw, and capture the full range of tones and spectrum of colours, you'll realise that you can often do a far better job of processing than the camera's software can manage.

I suggest you join a Camera Club and compare your work with others.

I take it that they were my comments which are above, is the reason you removed them, why put them in the critque section and asking people to " look at my gallery. " If you cant stand critisim why bother? I gave you in my opinion fair comments that nearly all were OOF and if you replaced them and viewed them full size you would see what I meant, put them back and lets see if anybody else agrees with me.

Im really shocked at the removal of the pics..Most of mine are rubbish but that how we learn......

Do you shoot in RAW or JPEG?
