I love your photos. The dog is so cute and the stuffed whale eating the muffin made me giggle. You have a talent for photography!

Okay.

Stop taking pictures of plants and pets. That's what all the amateurs do. ;)

You need to work on your composition. Your spider web is cool, but wish it had a better composition.

If you want to take pictures of people or even pets, take lighting into consideration. Look at your surrounding and where the light comes from. Where light and shadow fall on your subject - that is the essence of expression and art through photography.



Here's an example. This is my dog. (No, he's not dead. He's just enjoying his bone.)

Do you see how the light works? So use that to your advantage if you want to get serious with photography.

You're off to a good start. :)

Fellow ADers have given you some good pointers to follow.

I think you're finding out that good photography is a blend of having the technical skills and equipment, the artist's eye, and the will to get out there and do it.

Not really, I tried EF 15mm Fisheye Lens f/2.8 and EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AF Wide Angle Lens before. Both are nowhere same but depend on film format size and viewfinder. Like film format/viewfinder are 85% (cheap DSLR as Canon Rebel) then hard to noticed a image circle thru fish eye due copped image off.

So I tried Eos 5D or EOS 1Ds or Eos 1D Mark II which they are over 95% of film format size and viewfinder and I noticed both are big different.

Fish eye lens are more image circle and wide angle don't.

Fisheyes have the circular distortion (also called barrel distortion) because their angle of view is so wide, compared to a lens with a smaller angle of view (but still wide like the 35mm f/1.4 you mentioned). They both ARE wide-angle lenses though.
 
Wirelessly posted (sent from a smartphone. )

My camera has 28mm wide angle lens. It has 10x optical zoom and I hate anything less than 10x optical zoom.
 
UPDATE. Hey, tell me which one you think is best?

Natural light is the best. Don't use flash or use it to minimal. You're talking about tungsten and yes, that can be annoying to fix. I don't see it in most of your photographs though.

And try not to use Photoshop for composition. Cropping is a big no no.

photoshop is just necessary to fix the correct angel and clean off the dust when digital camera went something wrong.
 
Depth of field is kinda flat.

The foreground is almost framed by the foliage but not quite.

Composition: too many distractions on the right (cars, power lines, etc.)

Photoshop didn't touch those problems.

Is this the only shot you took of this scene? You should really move yourself around and try various angles and perspectives.
