Thank you, @Mr-Quebec! As I’ve said more than once on these forums, I learn a lot myself while researching other’s questions! I enjoy answering questions as much as most people like getting their questions answered!
I have always had an interest in the technical side of things, so I especially enjoy the technical questions that come up every once in a while.
To expound a bit on my initial advice, @smileyface, you should critique yourself. Look at the picture, and ask yourself, “Why do I not like what I see“; or, “What is it that could/should have been improved?”.
Is it grainy? Try lowering your ISO speed. Is it blurry? Check your focusing methods and make sure your shutter speed is fast enough. Is there a tree branch sticking out of the subject’s head? 🙂 Learn to watch your backgrounds (and foregrounds) for distracting elements.
Definitely post a picture or two now and then, and ask for some constructive criticism. We’re more than happy to pick your picture apart and tell you everything you did wrong help you improve your photography! 🙂
