Had Photography Tutorial yesterday around Belfast. first one I've had. what do you think be honest. as i hope this will help me improve.

This is one of the oldest pubs in Belfast Built in 1720 and still a popular place

Since you asked---the two on the pub are just nice record photos to show that the pubis there. There is nothing to make the view "feel" anything. The first is too dark and the second is too bright. Your horizontal lines and off in the first photo the building tips to the left. Also there is that really annoying half sign in the right hand corner. Without being there it is hard to say what I'd do, but off the top of my head maybe a shot at twilight, when the lights are on inside the pub and may shot using the corner of the building as the center, thus eliminating the background church..

In the second shot the building also tips to the left, there is too much foreground which is uninteresting, and what is that thing on the left hand edge of the photo?

All these things take time and practice to be aware of. Keep practicing. We were all there when we started.

Good Luck. (have a pint on me)

First seems underexposed and the second seems over exposed. The third has that nice leading line, but leads nowhere. I would crop some of the sky out of it because there's really nothing there to look at unless you were going to lay a blue sky in it or something. The graffiti is ok, but I don't think I would want a picture of something that says they're making my city shit. Then again I may not understand the circumstances there either, so that's just a personal thing. For the last picture I would like to see a little more of the barber shop. If you hadn't told me I probably wouldn't have known what it was. If the barber shop is the subject of the pic it's easy to miss.

First photo seems underexposed, and slightly crooked.
I would have backed up to include the whole sign, which would have made the photo more three dimensional, or moved in to eliminate it altogether.
