I just got into the photography game, never had a camera... Always used a camera phone. So recently I decided to see if this was my coup de gras.. Here are a couple pics, plz criticize to the max. :-D Thanks

Not bad at all. I like the HDR of the first one but the crop is not doing anything for the image I would have cropped to have the tree fully in the image not chopping the very top of it off. Also, be careful of having limbs and things growing out of your main subject. To me you main subject is the tower which has this odd tree growing out of the top of it. Try going back and moving around the tower a bit. Cropping is your friend so take a bigger image than you plan to use.

All in all its a good shot. Damn I need to find my charger and go out!!
 
I agree with greg, but ask yourself this: If you had not used HDR, would you still consider it a decent image?
 
Still learning, the D300 is way more camera then I know what to do with. Anything that I could do to improve would be very helpful, thanks in advance!

Since not a lot of pictures have been posted in a few days I will restart. These are SOOC

 
Got my D60 2 days ago and after some toying, the best one I got so far is this one :

Since my main use will be macro photography, I need to hone my skills using the Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm VR lens (I will buy a true macro lens in the future).
