Sorry for the double post I just got some cool shots filming my dad on the RC track yesterday.
I know the feet shots are overplayed as fuck I just thought the gravel looked cool in that shot.
Caught an amazing sunset from Smuggs a few weeks back. I really enjoy the simplicity of 1 or 2 tone mountain ridges... I've found myself getting better at finding pleasing lines in them but still definitely have room to improve. Anyone have any tips/feedback?

Not sure what camera you're using, but if you have the ability to bump up the f/stop a stop or two, you could have. On the second photo I'm having trouble telling exactly what is in focus on the flower. Another stop would have gotten the whole flower in focus, while still keeping that nice background blur.
Hopefully this doesn't come off as mean-spirited, just trying to give some constructive criticism.

Thanks! I'm using a Nikon D80 with a 18-55mm kit lens (first shot) and 50mm/1.8 (second shot). I definitely wasn't being as intentional as I should have on the second shot, but I love the first shot too.
Still working on playing around with what works and what doesn't and generally just trying to shoot a lot and keeping what (sort of) works.
Definitely appreciate criticism and you didn't come across as mean spirited at all.
Not one to really do flower shots but this one seemed to turn out decent.
Should've I turned the aperture up more? I was trying to draw attention to the flower in front but now I think I should've just had the entire foreground in focus.
I haven't checked this thread in about a year now but I'm so stoked to see all of the great stuff in here! All of you guys are doing some awesome work, I'll definitely have to post soon.

my only criticism would be the harsh light, may have been what you are going for but it really just makes harsh shadows or blown out color detail, awesome shot though. a way to diffuse the direct light can be as easy as holding a piece of paper covering the direct sunlight. hope i don't sound like a complete dick

Ha, no not at all. I'll have to bring some paper with me next time. Thanks!
