Was the camera in macro mode? seems like the pictures could be sharper... pretty bland overall to be honest though... they need more color, and more interesting compostion IMO.

keep at it,

Yeah Macro helps. Nice pics though. She should try some different angles, differet light. Just be creative! Professional photographers take a crap load of pics, and only a few turn out the way they want.

yeah, the pictures look plain and dull. she needs to be more creative. flower shots are so common that it is hard to be unique with them.

Re: (I Shot 50 Cent)

yea she posted, on that access photo site to get more commons..

I'm not expert I think they look pretty nice, considering that was the first day she got the camera... first day owned a camera.. first day acctually used a digital camera lol

she thanks for all the info... photoshop wouldn't be her friend..... she has a celeron 1.3ghz, with I think 128mb of ram... "laptop"
