These are some of the first shots I took with my new Canon Rebel T3 while on vacation at the beach. Any critique is greatly appreciated as I am new to photography but have always wanted to learn how to take the best shots possible.

You're on your way. Nice set.

For me...
#4 for the win.
#2 I would like to see a little more space between the lady and the sun. Maybe, a step or two to your left.
#3 Grass in foreground, a distraction.
#1 I'm not fond of.

I try not to frame the perfect shot in camera. I pull back a little and crop on the computer.
Hope this is helpful!

Thanks Edgorm, and also thank you Jay. I didn't notice the grass in the foreground of the third pic but now that you mentioned it I have to agree that it does distract from the pic. Thanks for the critique I really appreciate it. I will try and watch for these types of things in the future.

I like them all and I liked the grass in the foreground, I feel it can lead you into the picture. You see the grass and move into the picture. Each to their own

Really lovely photos JS. Just think what you will producing when you really familiarize yourself with it.

These are a nice set of pictures amd No.4 is really good. Since you have asked for critique this is my idea but others may well disagree.
In No.1 I think you hace focused on the shoulder rather thanthe face.For me No.3 is a rather ordinary shot spoiled by the grass.These are small points and do not spoil nice shooting.

Thanks again for the remarks. I do appreciate them. As I said before I am in no way a skilled photographer but someday I do hope to be. I'm sure with everyone's help on UGG I can accomplish what I am setting out to do. Thank you to everyone on the board.

I did a quick fix to the photo in question in photoshop. I see the difference between the two. Thanks for the suggestions.

#4 is absolutely the winner, but a little cropping on #3 to eliminate the grass wouldn't hurt. I think they are all very good.

I'm a fellow T3 user (only a year and a few months) and it's a great camera to start out with. Stick to this forum. You will learn so much in a very short time and couldn't ask for nicer people to learn from! Keep posting and keep asking questions! :thumbup:
