I think my images aren't amazing so I need to improve them much more. To improve I should have used better composition and lines. I think the lighting has come out quite well in most of these pictures. The pictures create quite a happy mood because there are bright colours used. On my first picture, my shadow is blocking the image I took so next time I need to be more aware of where I stand. I need to take more time taking the pictures so it's all captured in the picture and make sure only what I'm taking the picture of is in the image. I also need to make sure my pictures are straight, not wonky. I should have taken more imaginative photos as some of the photos I took were quite dull and boring.
