Now about the pics:
These photos and the ones in your other thread look as if you didn't take hardly any time thinking about composition, lighting, angle, whatever, you just pointed the camera and shot. Maybe you tilted it a bit cause you saw a car photo somwhere where someone did that but I assure you that they didn't just randomly tilt the camera and take the shot. It does seem like you have an interest in photography and if that is truly the case than I urge you to do a little studying online. Read up on composition, lighting, aperture, shutter speed, anything photography related you can find. Then use this knowledge and apply it to your photos, you can get decent photos from a point and shoot, they aren't going to be.anywhere near the quality of a dslr, but you can still snap a nicely exposed and composed photo and people will pick up on that. I learned my basics with a $100 p n s, now a little over a year later I have a dslr and am still reading and learning everything I can. So again browse the web, read up on the basics, then the next time you pick up your camera put what you learned into effect and plan out the photo, put some thought into it and show that you really want to get better. There are some great photographers here and they can help you progress as a photographer but don't waste there time by posting random snapshots and asking for their opinions, it won't end well.

So perfectly written. It is true, it is like stepping up to Eddie Van Halen, playing twinkle twinkle little star and asking what he thinks. People on here are more than happy to give compliments where deserved and constructive criticism when needed, but when no obvious effort went into the photos, just paint a target on your chest, lay back and take it. You had to have thought putting these photos in front of a bunch of photographers who take the art quite seriously, wouldn't end with you getting endless praise from the masses and a complimentary reach around for these photo masterpieces.
