lol. all comment s r welcome. no pros or expert would dare to say their work is flawless. I welcome comments to bring my level to a new height. comments helps a lot ya..Ok just my thoughts ar, you know I'm also new.
#1 & #2 is rather odd, the perspective from the ground doesn't seem warranted, there is nothing quite of interest on the ground. For #1, the point of focus being the road is also a tad uninteresting. For #2, though staring at the doorway seems creepy, the presence of an obviously populated HDB flat also negates that effect. I however am not experienced enough to give a suggestion on how to improve on the creepiness factor. I guess a wide angle used at the doorway might help.
#3, my eyes get drawn in from the bottom, and led straight out the top left. Or vice versa. I think for this instance, it would have been better if you could get a perspective from track level. And perhaps B/W :think:, I don't know, I see most of my world through my camera in B/W.

u posted the wrong way. go search for the thread how to post flickr images correctly. You dun use the link you see on your browser (*hint).
your #1 and #4 over processed. #1 sky colors looks unnatural and #4 too greenish until your rail tracks also become greenish.

PS I post le went to sleep now just came home from zoo.
No lah...people shy to give their opinions ma....here's mine:
Firstly, they are all technically correct pictures in terms of exposure, depth of field etc. However in terms of subject matter abit lacking like the others said. #5 and#6 works for me best, especially #6!
Okay back to #1. I think I understand what you are trying here - leading line into the frame. GJ on the low angle. Actually composition wise, it is fine. I only find that the oversaturation of colours don't work well here because your depth of field is mainly on the yellow box meaning your viewers attention are mainly there.
What could be better would be that you increase the yellow channel saturation only rather than an overall saturation. In fact, desaturate the other colours. Otherwise like in this case, all the colours are competiting for attention, which makes it rather messy. Give it a try

@ sujay
Nice meeting you bro
Enjoy your stay!There's potential in #1! From the photo can tell you had the intention to keep it simple. As you know, less is more (not always, but, yeah.) When you get new lenses with longer reach (hint hint, poison), can try to isolate more).
Nt so sure what to comment on the sky, looks a little strange to me. U did some PP to it? Like a background replace or something? Well have fun with PS! Shld try lightroom if you get your hands on it too
Cheers!

Seems to me that either that is an ND filter on or PP has been done to the sky to increase the saturation.. dun rmb the sky being so blue on that day, resulting an unreal feeling to the overall mood of the pic..
Agree with Jon, a tighter crop to the right maybe be nice to keep the pic simple (isolation) as you have a few signages which maybe a bit distracting :think:

For #1, it seems like you PP too much until I can see the halo effect around your objects.. do control the amount of contrast you wanna apply to your pics..
For the #2, you have also over-do on ur PP.. notice the leaves on the right? they've all become white.. nt sure what are u trying to tell us from this pic :dunno:
U may wish to tink a little on your composition and tell us what is your intent of this shot.. dun worry, keep shooting you'll do better

I have decided to include a B&W of #06.
Tell me what you guys think. ^^
Yo, i think u can try a B&W conversion for this one..but the tones a bit flat? how u convert?
Edit: And then again, the lighting is rather flat and diffused that day, sadly.

B/W doesn't work for this photo, am afraid...I have decided to include a B&W of #06.

Or maybe you can try to tweak your B/W conversion for more contrast. But I think the lighting is pretty flat, and the straight-on compo doesn't give you much options in terms of cropping or other PP.
I suggest putting this photo aside and don't think about it

Hmmm.. I can try to put a bit more contrast but then.. it will be not so nice either.. :think:
might agree that the lighting that day wasn't too good.. oh well.. try again next time..:cry:
thanks a lot for the feedback.. ^^

There are different ways, and different tools to convert a coloured photo (especially an uninteresting flat coloured one) into B&W, Sepia or any of those mono/two-coloured photos. The ability to choose how much of each of these individual red, blue, green, yellow, orange, etc allows you additional option to play with your picture and allow more of one colour to be brighter and another colour to be darker. That's my fav method of conversion, rather than just desaturate all the colours, which pretty much leaves you with the same picture sans colour. You can also play with contrast and brightness without having to worry your colours will go haywire. In addition, dodge and burn is much easier to handle in B&W (I seldom use this, preferring to control the amount of individual colour to go through).
I am rather bored at home. With your permission, I may like to try to do something with it.
