There is nothing wrong with what I have mentioned, but this is not enough, so you must search and explore with the gaze of a confident artist, and therefore you must adopt the appropriate dimensions and aperture, for example f / 22 or f 16, to ensure the focus in the front and back

Your photos are very good, especially the way you mix the process of light and shadow in a thoughtful and distinctive way. We congratulate you, hoping that you will continue to give the same quality and feeling behind which a photographic artist hides -

We have to define our concept of photography first, even if it is for photographing families, events, or children. This is also important. Once you reach a stage of photographic culture, you will be able to see with a distinctive photographic look.. and the development of equipment is an important part of this view, otherwise how will we reach the stages advanced in this field.
The image of the three children is good, but the image of the child is out of focus and unclear, and it is most likely that the defect is due to the camera.

Your works are well thought out and they express your capabilities and therefore your sense of the scene and how to deal with it knowing that you have benefited well from our observations except for the image of the city of Byblos from inside the castle which was weak and you had to delete the foreground and shorten the frame from the backs, also you have to adjust the exposure to come with an acceptable sense of light.
This is in addition to adopting a large lens aperture, i.e. number 22, for example, so that the dimensions come into focus -

In general, your pictures are good, and I particularly mention the pictures of picking dates, which came sequentially and interconnected to express - as a complete topic - the goal and thus show the harvesting process.
The image of the sunset is also good, knowing that if we delete the part that appears in the foreground so that more focus is placed on the person in the image, we will get a distinctive artistic shot as well.
The picture of the mosque, the introduction came in it empty, so it worked to waste the power of focus, and it was supposed to shorten this introduction to herbs only.
