can see some original photo without editing one??
then slowly show us the edited one la..
ok?

dont waste ur S3 mah

The frames on the photos are a bit too outrageous. Too much PP but still can see handshake effects on most of them.

thanks.
yep, my handshake. Almost my pic are not sharp at all so i have to PP.
original photo ? almost is too suck due to its reason.
so i have some here

hi. I like your original photo than the edit 1....
Pls keep it coming

in flickr, you can select the size before copying the code out to paste here...

but it's their terms to link the image back to your flickr page yah...

You're not doing photography, you're learning how to edit images and showing your work here ... it's a NUGE DIFFERENCE nowadays

i notice you like to put your subject in the whole frame, study rule of thirds to have better composition.

thanks. yep. it's not photography, just photos only( my wrong words ) . It's just my hobbies. i'd like only to show some of my pics. All of pics taken long time ago, maybe next things will be better. Below were not edit too much, just increase/decrease contrast and colour

#6 The rubbish are distracting.
#7 & #8 are very nicely taken but more emphasis should be put on the flower for #7 and please don't cut away the paw of the cat in #8.

The flash ruined #8.

Dude. Becareful when you're editing the pics. You may attract/add unwanted noise in to your images. I did that mistake for quite alot of times.

Frog shot is nice.

Great composition. =P

thanks.
CompMac, can u teach me how to put emphasis on the flower at #7 ?
R a D ! c 4 L: if it happend, why don't use noise reduction filter to prevent it ?

You should zoom in more and focus on the flower instead of taking in the rest of the closed ones. Blur the background of the flower but leave some detail so that we know there are other stalks and a fence behind the flower.

#10 & #11 are nice. You should frame the flower in #12 to be a bit lower so that you don't cut off the petal on the top.

Nice pic..I like the cat!

I presume picture 10 onwards are not photoshopped.
They look awesome!

thanks. i don't use Photoshop, it's too hard to learn for me ( also slow my lappy ) I'm using photoimpact which is a lot easier, faster and simple - just click and see what happend ( although not as strong as Photoshop )
#10 & #12 i retouched quite a lot ( cleared baby hand, changed color & backgound to darkness ), the rest did nothing except increased contrast & decreased brightness.
