Hi guys, I'm new here, and to photography. Here's some photos I took on my recent trip around Peru. Any tips/advice would be great.

Welcome! Fascinating photos! The mountains are just spectacular - although you need to adjust the white balance because the whole scene is green.

I guess if you're going to start a photographic career, Machu Picchu is a good place. Those are some interesting images.

It might just be my laptop, but the first one looks a bit dark or underexposed. Other than that, they're pretty good shots.

What a great place to start off your photographic journey with Pentax, plenty there to capture the imagination and well as the shutter.

Wow beautiful place!

Since you asked for critiques (btw we have a whole forum for that specifically), I'll say fantastic captures.. the little girl though is out of focus and, as someone already mentioned, the photograph of the mountains needs a white balance correction.

They are rich in color (minus the B+W photo hehe) and nicely contrasty too.

And you composed these rather well... I guess the saying is true 'if you want more interesting photos, stand in front of more interesting things' (paraphrased)

Thank you for sharing these with us!

Good eye and framing and a inspiring place to be, welcome.
