Hi Ben,
Firstly I would suggest ditching the yahoo picture site and go to
another picture hosting site, I use www.photo.net myself for sharing.
It's dificult to tell if the images are good or not, I know little about
the scanner you are using, is it a film scanner? if not, what are the
prints like?
Composition wise everything looks ok. As far as the lens quality, what
is it?
When I used to shoot film, I went to slide film which forced me to get
everything right, it slowed me down and made sure that my techniques
were correct. The only time I used print film after that was for
weddings and then I used pro film.
The other good thing about photo.net is that it is probably one of the
biggest "camera clubs"/photo communities you will find, there is a huge
array of photographers on there, ranging from professionals to newbies
all willing to critique your work and give advice, also heaps and heaps
of forums, reviews and "how to" columns, and it's free!!
