Going to photography school - need help from resident pros, please

Well, in the printout, the frame won't be there, so it's all good.

The mask shot, i used a black t shirt, but it hadn't been washed with perwol black magic, so it wasn't entirely black. :(

And i don't know how to really get the starry effect. I tried various different aperture settings and all came out blobby...

Try using a smaller aperture next time. :)
 
Berserker always beats me to it.

Longer shutter speed, smaller aperture. If you want you can use a filter, you might find the star burst filters in the bargain bin along with the soft focus, tobacco graduated, multivision and vignette filters etc.

^ Good choice, although what is the mark on the right hand side of the photo? it looks like you've got some wax on it...
 
Just a reflection. Might consider getting rid of it, but i kind of told myself not to do any healing of the photos used in here...
 
I preferred the other castle pic.

The big yellow sign in the side of the car distracts me.

The spot on the Audi pic looks like its on the border. How can that be?

I like the bridge.

Sorry if I'm being to harsh.
 
Not too harsh, no. I'm aware of the yellow sign, but i'll keep it.

The spot is on the border, because i don't do an opaque border, but a semi transparent one with the overlay setting. I've now gone against my doctrine and removed the reflection. :(
 
Si, si, i know. It was just a snapshot. I did get rid of the bigger bugs, though. :D
 
I say ditch the moving car shot. I really feel it is not up to your standards.
 
Ask Pops to drive you around somewhere where there are less visual distractions, the yellow sign just killed it.
 
Well, i took 160 shots for that. I'll try to find another wone without the sign. ;)

Also, can you check post #1, i ditched 2 ideas, need new ones, stat! :(
 
First one of these two or the first one i posted (e.g. the one with the yellow sign)?
