Here are a few pictures taken around the house and I was wondering what I can do to improve.

What camera are you using?

Your focus looks a little soft, with these types of pictures you need to make sure your focus is spot on.

Also I would drop the colour selection editing. I personally think it screams, new to photography and new to post processing.

Have to agree on the focus issue. I am also not a fan of selective coloring but if it is something you want to do then you need to color the whole subject. In on you left a lot of the flower in B&W and also part of the bird in the second photo. For now, just concentrate on your composition and focus to show immediate improvement in your work.

Not bad but MWAC was correct in her critique.

Keep shooting and posting. :)

I think #3 would be better in landscape format.

you are trying to work too closely with your lens - pull back a bit and what you lose in framing you will more than gain back from crisper images (which you can then crop).

and what ever MWACC says ditto too

Thank you, I have a Nikon 5000. (Cropping-need to watch that) I am trying to learn how to edit and do fun things with pictures. I like stuff that is different but want it to be quality as well and I don't have anyone to tell me what needs to be done so I joined here seeking help. Thanks for the info.

Thank you, I don't have alot of selection to shoot unless I travel of which I lack in time so I just get the itch to shoot and head out in the yard. I really like landscapes the best.

Thank you, I appreciate you taking time to comment. I will try to compose and keep an eye on the focus in the future.
