I like number 022 the best… The berries. I think you're doing good, and will definitely advance and improve. I suggest you play with "Micro", I don't know if you have that camera has that feature but it it kind of like really zoomed in. For example, if you took a picture of a leaf using micro you would see every single little line. Focusing on little details on everyday thinks can make for amazing pictures. I also suggest you manipulate the light… Use it towards your advantage. Shadows, reflecting off objects, etc. But very good so far! Hope I helped!

You certainly do a better job than most amateurs. Add me on Flikr 'Calvinator77', I'm also an amateur, but I do personally feel as if I have a good eye for photography, as do you. Would be nice if we could both share each others images with each other and give feedback. Good job and good camera choice.

Yeah they show promise. It's hard to tell with only 4 photos but they look like they're 'on the right track' :) I think (like all amateurs including myself) you just need to find a photo type that interests you, and more importantly, subjects that interest you, because i always think you can tell when the photographer is interested in what they're taking photos of and the photo becomes more interesting to others. Well done.

You just got your D500, but I bet I know what you didn't get:

1--A basic photography guide book

2--A prime lens such as a 50mm

And I bet I know what you are not doing, which is shooting in 100% manual 100% of the time.

If you do not shoot in manual Focus, ISO, White Balance, Shutter, and Aperture, you can't possibly understand what you are doing and each photo you take successfully is nothing more than the result of the camera's computer making good enough choices for you.

If you use a zoom lens you will have much difficulty predicting depth of field or knowing which shutter speed you should use. Also, you will likely have to rely on your flash when shooting in low light instead of learning settings and acquiring the skill involved in available light photography.

If you shoot in full auto and don't read technical photography manuals, you will certainly fire off photos that your and others', untrained eyes think look amazing. However, if you use the right equipment, use it properly and educate yourself you will take much much nicer photos than these and you will be more than another person who just bought a DSLR, you will be a photographer. It's totally your choice as to who you want to be. I'm guessing that because you want feedback, however, you want to learn and do things correctly, and therefore you these photos are but only a humble beginning for a soon to be great photographer.
