At what time of the day were the shots of the deer and truck/field taken?

I ask because of white balance / tint.


Looks like afternoon/golden hour... but the deer shot you can improve the tint on - too pink/purple

Abstract?

Oh I see it - Abstract as the category. I will change it, did not notice it before

For the flowers I would prefer less background detail. Open up the lens to 2.8 and the blur should do the trick.

Please don't take it to heart - but I call such type of shots - "I shoot what i see". There is nothing wrong with it (good for simple documentation of facts which might become relevant many years later) but from an artistic standpoint they are lacking.

1ist image - not a good composition - too much "empty space" while the "object of interest" is small. The subject itself could be made interesting - a long focus lens from a lower vantage point could do a better trick. If the truck was stationary - a different angle - more form a side would provide additional interest.

2nd image - Just a deer - a bit soft focus and funky colors. I understand that it is hard to control a deer and such - but here a "portrait" (headshot) would be more interesting - one side of the head is kind of in the shadow while the other is light up. In this whole-body shot - the attention is taken away by a bright tail.

3rd image - flat lighting. Flowers don't "sparkle" - in this case you could improve the situation only with an external off-camera lighting. Composition - a fence of flowers. In this case the "impact" would have been to zoom in on one flower or to find a perspective where flowers line up towards the vanishing point - somtehing like that.
