Hi, Mel23. Welcome to the forum. Anyone can start photography, you only have to be "good enough" to make yourself happy with the results. It's not about pleasing other people.

This looks like a nice shot of the sky but really there isn't a very strong subject in it so it's hard to critique such a minimalist shot. It looks a little compressed but that may just be the board software if your image is larger than 1024 pixels and/or over 250KB.

thank heavens I never had that thought! lol. I kind of like this. It might look really neat as a B&W.

Just stick to this forum and the wonderful, helpful and friendly people in it and you will surprise yourself.

So, are you asking us if you can make a living selling your work? If so, it's a little hard to tell from one or two images. Post a few more and let us get to know you. Take one or two of your best images and post it in the critique forum for an honest critique.

With any photo I want to know what drew the photographer to take it. With this I can't really tell, it's either the sky or the grass. Maybe the trees. Did you stay and work the location? I think isolating some of the grasses against that sky in a silhouette might have been effective.

Ok, so the thing is I got a new SLR camera and took some pictures and since then have been told by a few people that I should take up photography, but I'm not sure if I'm 'good' enough at it. I'll post a few more and see what you think. Thanks.

I love clouds and the sky. And I thought that this looked beautiful.
Even if I'm not 'good' enough at it, I'll always take pictures, especially of my daughter.
