Hey guys - this is the first time for me to post my pictures, so please let me know what you think - I really value your input!

Also, does anyone know why when you upload your images to Blogger, the color and sharpness is dulled from your original images? Help on this would be grand!

Thank you!
Stacy

LOVE the 2nd pic coloring and light but it's TOO tilty. Like the colors (2nd to last is a bit blue and cold looking) and 6 is WAY TOO tilted too. I like that every image is different from the others. Great job and thanks for posting.

Great shots! I love #5! What a great spot!

Nice shots Stacy! Many good ones here so Im not going to pick a fave. I have problems with blogger uploads too. I always end up with a lot more contrast and the pictures dont quite look the same. I am thinking about uploading them to the website and just link them to the blog.

Great job Stacy- love em! Were those shot in Austin?

Like Mike said, would it help if you linked your pics to blogger through a site like photobucket?

Thanks everyone!

Lucky - Thanks for the input....I agree about the tilt. It's kind of funny because obviously a lot of people try the tilt for artistic reasons, but usually I have it in order to fit the couple completely in the picture - haha. I'll work on it! ; ) And about the cold one - I was trying that to be artsy, but maybe it just looks like they're blue. Boo hoo.....that's what I get for trying artsy!

Mike - great idea - let me know how that works for you! I really would like to have pics right there on my blog, but I'm SO disappointed to see them like that.

Mark Eric and Nettie - Thanks! These were shot in out Botanical Gardens here in Austin - it was fun!

Hi Stacy -
I really like 1, 3, 4, and 9. Great b&w conversion and terrific color.

I'm a fan of the artsy tilt but if it's TOO tilty and makes you look sideways at it I think that's too much. I REALLY like those 2 pictures and understand what you mean by tilting-to-fit-in-the-subject I say step back a bit so you can get that tilt a little more under control. You're so brave to post your pics and are taking the CC VERY well I haven't posted much for CC yet (I'm chicken) so take my opinion with a grain of salt

Shannon - thanks so much! Yes, I just need to work on backing up a bit....but sometimes I just get so excited about a shot and try to do everything so fast. Please post some of your pics!

You definitely need to post more often! I looove #2 and I think overall they all rock. I agree about #6 being too tilted and I think I'd straighten the "keyhole" shot a little - but I think they're fantastic!

Thanks, Melody! That means so much coming from you. All of you guys have given me very helpful and constructive criticism as well as some very kind words about my work.....thank you again!

Edit - this is not my attachment, but boy is it funny!
