Thats my DevArt. It'll keep updated with most my work.

I shoot with a Sony DSLR A100.

They're really large so I'll just supply you with a URL to the photo. I shoot in 10.2 megapixel so the dimensions can push up there.

Not a big fan of the first one. Too much stuff going on and it looks just kind of like random picture you took.

The second one is pretty good. If you messed with it in photoshop more, you could really bring out the color of her eyes and add more contrast in general. There's a really obvious blue cast so color correction is definitely warranted anyway.

Keep it up.

Not bad, but I'm not really a fan of the three new ones.

In the first one, you really should have cleaned/dusted off the headphones and the case. It may have been intentional, but the first thing I noticed when I opened up the picture was the dirty case and it lessens the appeal of the photo. There's also a yellowish-orange color cast, which can be easily fixed.

In the second one, the red statue/figure on top of the amp seems misplaced and throws off the image for me. There's also a color cast on this one, which you can clearly see on the metal part of the speaker, since it looks orange instead of gray or silver. If you don't already know how, you can fix this pretty quickly by going to Levels and then using the eye dropper tools. I also would have maybe tried leveling it more, but that's just personal taste. You may want to experiment with it though to see which version you like better.

I like the third one better, but it is a bit too centered. Other than the green patch in the top left corner, there isn't much going on with the rule of thirds. Again, there's a color cast. I would have probably tried to bring more focus to the eyes by increasing it's saturation and then maybe slightly decreasing the saturation of everything else.

Keep posting your stuff though. It's good to see more photography threads (or just threads in the art section in general lol)

I did some color correction and made a few adjustments in photoshop to your cat picture, and here's what it ended up looking like. I tried to bring more focus to the face.

I have the large version if you want to keep it.
