First pics- ballet shoes (edited)

Here are my first pictures posted on YoPhotographer.
These are just some pictures I've taken. The first is the original which I had taken with the intention to edit. The 2nd and the 3rd pictures are edits of the first. I hope you like them.

Re: First pics- ballet shoes (edited)

Your edits show you have a good eye for what makes a good composition

Now, what you need to do is try to apply that in your photography (or try not to rely on editing so much )

With regards to the edit I like the 2nd one best, as the blown highs seem to work

Look forward to seeing your next shots!

Nice compositions on the edited shots

I really like the second edit, I think the tones and highlights work.

Great first post xxx

As the others have said, you have an eye for composition and good subject matter! Ill look foward to seeing what you come up with once you have mastered the basics of photography

Re: First pics- ballet shoes (edited)

Now I am sitting her perplexed as to how that was done as I know for a fact that it is hard to stand on points, balance and shoot a pic at the same time!!!

I do like it though and shows great promise.

I thought it was your daughter

If you took this shot plus you are the model, it is even more impressive Very well done x

Re: First pics- ballet shoes (edited)

Gosh brings back distant memories, I like the composition in the edited versions think the cropping is good, would keep the tweaking on the gentle side to start with. Find the shot interesting and I am intrigued if it was a self footrait taken in the rehearsal mirror as I have never seen one that clean
