#2 needs more photoshopping, can easily tell it was taken from the inside of a car.
#3 faux-blur is distracting. Composition not so great, I see a basketball player with no net or not enough court. I also see a soccer game in the background.

#1 maybe a bit less fence and a lot more sky.

-I like it
-Maybe add some more saturation and contrast to bring out the colours

-you can see the reflection from the car window
-the angle isn't great, I think it would look better with some cropping

-I'm not sure what your trying to do with this picture - too busy for landscape
-Image looks distorted and corners are out of focus
-The basketball player does not add anything to the picture
-Even though your image looks like it was shot at fairly low aperture, it lacks depth of field

anshulsharma, your photographs are sweet. Just shoot what you like and disregard what everyone tells you, cause most of the time they dont actually take pictures.

He asked for feedback, we give him feedback. It's up to him if he wants to hear it or not, part of the learning process. I hope OP rather see a few pointers and criticism, than 50 posts to say he's the greatest photog on RFD.

And yes most of the time I do take pictures.

eh stop photoshopping your shots dude, there's no need for all that blur and HDR.

General rule of thumb, make sure your horizons are straight, and that your composition is sound.

This. It's bordering on Instagram quality. Forget the filters and cheap effects and just focus on the compositions.

Agreed. I'm not sure which photos in particular you posted for critique (I'm at work and for some reason they're blocked in the forum but work fine at your site)

You have a great eye and your technical skills are sharp. The fake blur and over-processing is not needed and in my opinion only detracts from the scenes. Let your photos speak more for themselves.

When I look at the photographs here and on your website, I get the impression that most of your photographs were taken from your car or your house. Am I wrong?

HDR when done correctly (and this is seldom ever, I'd say 2 out of 10) is not suppose to stand out like a sore thumb. It's suppose to be subtle and only revealed when the observer asks the photographer how it was done.

I don't get the crops from the samples you posted though, (why are there black bars top and bottom) unless you shot this with a cell phone in landscape orientation and used Instagram-like filters?

On closer observation, the resolution is very low so therefore it must be a phone...heh.
