These are the first shots I am posting. I am wondering what I did right, if anything, and what I did wrong. Any advice is appreciated. I don't just want kind comments, I am trying to learn. If you just want to troll, I have no need for you. Actual advice please.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Doing good. Lighting is reasonable on all of them. I assume you were handholding so on those longer lens shots think about getting a tripod, even for the best of us long shots, even at reasonably fast shutter speeds, can blur a little from hand shake or just missing the perfect focus. On your other shots, when you are doing post try to correct your horizon a little and read up a little on the rule of thirds. These are all little things that we all do even after years of shooting that you will hone in as you practice more.

Good start, are you using single point focus? A leaf on the left of the goose is in focus, the goose a little soft. The street at the bottom of the house is sharp, house a little soft. What camera and lens are you using?

thanks for the help. I will start reading up on the rule of thirds and try to learn paintshop pro better. This was my first real attempt at doing any post work and I just hit the quick fix button and did a little on the exposure adjusting.

I was using center focus, but not single point. I use a canon 80D and the wide angle was a 18-55 is stm kit, zoom shots were 55-250 is stm kit. I want to invest in better glass, but just trying to learn a little more before I buy my next, probably the tamron 70-200 g2. I was using center weighted on the building shots, point on the goose and the man fishing, the only one that I really liked composition on. I got a dirty look from him, so I grabbed a couple shots quick and got out of there. I think I may have to calibrate the lenses to the camera, I thought I had a good focus point, but they all seem soft.

You might try f8, higher ISO & increase SS, none of the shots are bad just a little soft. Keep plugging you'll get it.
