I've been checking out some amazing work here for quite sometime and figured it's time to join up myself. I've been into photography for quite sometime now, my first camera was a Yashica rangefinder. Now I shoot with a Sony a200 and love it!
All critique it welcome!

Welcome Penny... Anywhere near Rockwood, Mi? I love the last one, but would go lighter on the vignetting or lose it all together. That's just my opinion...;0)

Welcome to the forum, Penny. Nice set of shots for your intro!

#1 - good balance with background, focus and DOF. I like this one best
#2 - background over powers foreground, too busy. Hard to tell if the seed ball is in focus or not (hint: clicking on "store original" when posting will allow users a closer scrutiny of a photo)
#3 - good composition and PP work. Makes one think of an entry way to, or from, a fantasy world of some sort.
