I love your photos and think you did an excellent job on exposure and composition as well as the subject matter. My ONLY very tiny nit, and of course you and others may disagree, is I think number three, with the apple, is somewhat too closely cropped.

Thank you Dennis. I didn't like how close the crop was either but I didn't want my kitchen stove showing in the background lol. The floor makes a great backdrop but the stove not so much.

Hi maggiemae,
How fast is your internet connection?

I have the upgraded package from spectrum so its pretty fast. However it would probably be faster if I hooked it directly to the computer instead of using wifi.

Do you edit using a laptop screen or desktop? My edited images look awesome on the laptop but too dark other devices
I only have a laptop right now. I do notice when I print I have to make the image slightly brighter than what I would tend to based on the screen. I imagine someday I will purchase a bigger screen to hook to it but right now I just don't have space for one. Our house is tiny and my desk is already overcrowded.

Thank you everybody for the suggestions. I know I need to invest in an external hard drive but am tapped out for now. Transferring my photos isn't hard because I everything is saved to "cloud" type storage. All I have to do is log in and evrything is there. So convenient and I can access my stuff on any device. I'll let you know how I like it once I get to play on it some.

Almost all modern software and operating systems are designed to take advantage of the speeds of SSD storage devices. If your old machine has a 5500 or 7200 RPM hard drive, that's why it's a tired old dog...
Most Intel processors are crippled by I/O for 99% of tasks if the OS or data is on a spinning platter. Switching to an SSD makes a huge difference.

I am not sure what it has in it but I think it is not SSD. It is a cheap $500 Walmart HP that is at least 5 years old. It has Windows 10 on it but it won't fully update any 10 updates since I got it. When the new version of LrC wouldn't open after I downloaded it, that was the last straw. I had to redownload the older version and lost all my settings. I was so annoyed.

Based on results, an excellent purchase.
Thank you quixdraw! I was quite pleased. My nephews mother is expecting her third child and has agreed to let me shoot newborn pictures. This was purchased in anticipation of that event and I want to get in some practice with it before then. She isn't due until February so hopefully I will have it down by then.

I really like the first one. The bee is sharp and the color of the flower is great.

I look forward to what you produce.
The worst part about ordering new gear is waiting for it to arrive! Hopefully this will make editing much easier and hopefully must faster. It takes me hours to edit just a few photos on my current computer.
