Before
The diagnosis for this photo is mainly artistic and it needs to be a little more in focus. The treatment would be to get clsoer to the bird, well try, and cut out the sidewalk portion. The shutter speed would need to be at its fastest to try and caprute the bird before it flies away. Nature can be tricky but getting closer would capture the detailed feathers and colors of the bird.

The diagnosis for this treatment is too blurry and underexposed. The shutter speed was too slow. It is also a dimly lit picture. The treatment is to make the shutter speed a little faster and get in a naturally light area. Using the sunlight would be best because then the dirt specs on the bottom half can be seen more clearly. The flash might throw that off or bounce off of another part of the flower.

The diagnosis with the photo is over exposure and too much light. The flash bounced off and created this circular ball of light in the bottom right hand corner of the picture. Treatment for this photo is the flash isnt needed, especially since there appeared to be enough light in the room. Artistically it is a controversial picture dealing with the Bible and a Party flyer, a better set-up cuold have been used. Possibly, people could have got involved, one person holding the Bible and one holding the flyer.

The diagnosis for this picture is mainly artistic issues. This was poorly composed. The rose should not have been leaning on a full bottle of Sprite. The treatment is to choose a better background, maybe a nature background would have been better. Another suggestion is to back up and straighten out the camera. The shadow effect and idea of the rose dying is good, but it wasnt carried out very well. The photo is a little dark but if the shadow is to be kept then this exposure is alright. On the other hand, if i had a lamp, I would place it off to the side, out of the photo to create more light and eliminate that shadow. I would take the flash off and use the light from the lamp only. Another suggestion is to take the lampshade off to get more light and if the lampshade cant be removed then tilt it up toward the subject. The area and props for the rose are not the best though.

The main diagnosis with this picture is the blurriness. The wind was blowing very hard, causing my hand to be unsteady. The shutter speed was too slow and the focus was off, causing the blur. The treatment is to make the shutter speed faster and try to keep the hand steady to focus on the tree and the sun coming up in the background, the lightpole should be eliminated from this shot for a better composed photo.
