[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 163462, member: 12214"] As already said, shooting right into the sun is very difficult. I have rarely been successful doing that. Do you have a lens hood/shade for your lens? If not, I would suggest it. All my lenses, except my 2 macro lenses, each have a lens hood. Just a suggestion. I, too, like the rose. Nice shot. Don't take the comments people make as negative. Getting feedback is how we all learn. When I first started doing photography seriously, my father would tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it. He was not the most diplomatic at times, but really did learn a lot. I am still learning, and I have been taking photos for over 40 years. Keep posting your photos. Don't be afraid to ask for help and guidance. You will be surprised how much you can learn. Also, take a look at other people's photos. You can learn a lot by just looking at what others do. Don't give up and don't think people are being critical. We all started at the same place. Enjoy photography. That's the main thing. I hope to see more of your photos. Summer is a great time to get out and take pictures. [/QUOTE]
