The formation of clouds in the image of the sky is wonderful and complete, in terms of vision and angle of capture or gradient colors, even the small part of the earth at the bottom of the image.
The scene of flowers, I do not congratulate you on it compared to the picture of the clouds, the vision in it is out of focus knowing that the focus is one of the axioms.
The image of the scene is okay, but the electrical wires divided it and obscured the view in relation to the background of the scene ⏹

Pictures with what they mean in terms of techniques, developing and printing black and white, in addition to the capture angle is good, only one issue remains, you may notice it with me and you review more than once the frames, you will find them unbalanced and tend to distort and imbalance, so I advise you to re-read the focus topics of the frame and choose the angle that we mentioned In our previous preparations ⏹

Your works are good, especially the selected topics, being a specialist in this field, and the simple observation is about the shape of this tree. If you took it from a different angle, the electric pole in the middle of the picture would be lost, or if you were to lie down on its side with a wide-angle lens, the shapes with the sky would be more expressive.
In any case, this is a preliminary result, and we are confident that you will be able to give more....⏹

Your pictures are distinguished by the prior look and composition of the scene, so they were expressive and thoughtful at the same time, except for the image of the ancient column, which was different to our opinion in your other pictures, so the look was lost and the scene was lost, so what is the reason?
You, my friend, should not capture any scene unless you are convinced of its results, as happened with you in other scenes ⏹

⏺ Friend Muhammad:
The portrait, the portrait, of this beautiful little girl came out weak and the main reason, which we talk about constantly, is in choosing backgrounds that are harmonious and calm with the facial images. Here the bouquet of colored flowers, located next to the girl's head, attracted all the attention, which lost the focal point, and had it not been for this bouquet, it would have come. The picture is good, knowing that the side position and view are excellent.
The second shot, the best thing about it, is that it was filmed without flash, with the two frames you have to focus only on the things you want without cramming electrical tape, books, and other things, which led to a loss of balance⏹

It is not enough to take pictures, but to realize their importance and location for us.
Unfortunately, your photos are very ordinary without any meaning to any of them.
My friend, you should read about photography and I advise you to start from scratch⏹

⏺ Friend Bassam:
This general scene needs to be studied in advance before capturing in order to avoid the presence of electrical wires, either by changing your location or by lowering the camera a little lower, while choosing a higher capturing point in order for the scene to be more detailed, noting that the balance in the image between the line of sky and earth is unacceptable, you should read My friend, and back to our numbers, which we are talking about composing the scene.
Also, for other photos, you need to read to develop your photographic view ⏹

⏺ friend Kamal
You have sent us a good group of photos, and we have chosen these two photos to comment on them, knowing that the other photos are not subject to publication.
This makes me wonder about your level in comparison with these two snapshots - unless the other photos are from your old productions.
In any case, what I meant is that your picture here reflects an ability and understanding of the advice we constantly offer, especially your ability to limit the frame and choose the angle, so go ahead and await more of your work⏹
