steeze_pizzaI was trying to capture the fact that it was abandoned. Apparently not very well, any suggestions?
Also a novice photographer, but here are my thoughts. Like someone else mentioned, the shots dont have a subject. Since the room is so cluttered and its all in focus, the shot looks cluttered. Find one or two interesting objects to make the subject of your shot and work the composition around that object. I think that Texaco can is an interesting place to start since it is clearly pretty old and pops out against the other shit strewn about.
Profahoben_212Critiques? Some of my first landscapes.
Dude, nice.
#1 is fairly boring, but #2 & #3 are superb. I've never seen Rushmore from that angle, great composition and processing on the B&W. #2, fantastic colors and silhouette.

The third one here is so dope! That's one of the best examples of leading lines I've seen and the picture gives a really eerie feel that makes it so special

Thanks! The other three are pretty "whatever"... but I actually really liked that one when I flipped it to monochrome.
^First one's got some potential. Composure definitely needs work though. Too much blank space, too centered... Simply cropping from the top left would be a good start.
1: Overblown highlights, cliche, people's backs, subjects head is messy with the trees. Lower right has messy rail.
2: DOGGY ∪･ω･∪, separation between subject background is decent could be better, bring focal point to the eye, bokeh is uggo, background is messy.
3: Your earth is tilting, perspective is skewed, CLICHE, muddle the snow to erase footprints (either have one ominous track implicating depressing things or none at all), take more distance from the pier, too little sky.
4: Subject almost getting beheaded by the crop, messy with the lift behind him, no leading lines, focus is good, composition not.

was not expecting a critique but thank you very much I will avoid my clicheness in the future

Don't try to avid cliche, be all means be cliche, 99,9% of photography is cliche anyway, but that does mean there's a back catalogue of thousands/millions/billions of shots to learn from and to make your cliche the best cliche that no cliche ever was thus breaking the boundaries of cliches.
I went pretty hard in the photo game over break down the Washington/ Oregon coast for some school projects. I'd be happy with some feedback or to hear what people like the most.
