One of my first shoots.
Criticism and suggestions are always welcome, feel free to say everything. I'm just a beginner.

it's obvious you have talent and are skilled in creating an image full of emotion...

What a big compliment! Thank you very much! I hope that you are right, we will see!

I tend to find I am the worst critic of my own pictures, while is probably why I constantly strive to do better. There is lot of good reading out there Flavio, just doing a goolge search on a single topic can come up with some good information so if you are still learning try setting up a shot and playing with the settings. Several similar images should show the difference between a narrow and wide depth of field, or a fast or slow shutter speed, and al the combination inbetween! Try searching for the "triangle" of shutter speed, f-stop and ISO and the effects it can have

I am very critic about myself too, it is part of myself in everything I do. That's the reason for which I am posting my pics here asking for opinions, because I need to compare them with mine.
I am really appreciating all the comments. I am studying a lot, using some books and Google. What is a little bit difficult is to associate the theory with the final effect over the picture.
Thank you.

Although the cropped version definitely has less distraction, as Flavio said, it looses something in the ratio. A portrait composition would have been preferable to landscape, but I understand the problems involved. Still, a very good capture.

I looked at your album and enjoyed your work. Very nice composition on all of them. I especially liked the yarn in the basket. Very nice indeed!
