Some nice photo feedback

After we did our class-wide "crits" of our photographs tonight, my photography teacher said to me privately about the pic a few posts ago with the lens flare on the statue: "That kicks ass."

I was pretty happy with it, although I admit it was just a lucky accident -- the trick I'm trying to learn is doing those accidents on purpose!

At any rate, I like that picture more and more and have submitted it to a couple of online photo contests, just to see what happens.

The rest of the class was really interested in the spider closeup, but the teachers weren't as impressed, I think.

Still, most of the other folks in the class have a much better creative eye than I do, so mostly it is a learning experience for me to look at what they come up with.
