First photo post and fairly new dslr user. and new to taking photos

these are from a trip to the hunter for my first anniversary. all taken with 18-55mm kit lense. c&c always welcome.

Ben,

Beautiful colours, especially the first "image".

In the second, you might like to either crop out the foreground, which is somewhat blown, and also some of the sky, turning this image into a pano, or else look to creating a second layer in PS and using that secondary layer to reduce the blown highlights in the foreground (and elsewhere) and thus perhaps improve the image.

I'd probably do both: crop, and then fix the blown areas using layers.

As an aside, when you're putting images up for posting, please note that the largest side of any image should be no greater than 800 pixels. These are 1024, and for many members, this means they need to scroll in order to view your image. In turn, this makes critiquing of your images more difficult.

Also, please try to keep the filesize to below about 120K, to help those members who remain on dial-up. Observance of these two simple points helps to provide all members with a more satisfying experience.

thanks for the comments and suggestions will definately take them onboard.

yeh the second was taken in the middle of the day and had ppl walking though the image all the time so was hard to get a decent enough shot.

sorry about the image sizes . will know for next time.

The third one has a quite surreal, "Alice in Wonderland" feel to it, and a very believable 3-dimensionality. I like it!

Cheers
Steffen.
