new to the team

Hi all am new to the scene and very new to Digital Photography. I have toyed around with PhotoShop and other like software and am now looking for some constructive criticism. (Be nice it’s my first time O.K.)
I have attached some of my work for comment so let loose the dogs of war, and let me know what you think.

they are pretty nice shots, but the borders you put on them really destroys the image, i would recommend just keeping them as they are without putting borders..

yes, that border stuff sucks

Damn I sort of liked the borders
Thanks for the comments will keep checking back for more

Yeah those ares some great shots, but like the others said some/most of the borders really kill the rest of the image... other then that though i think they are some great shots :D

Fusion I would be interested what photos you liked the borders on and why need all the input I can get.

There are really some great images there!

I got tired of lucking at that border, it made those bad photos worse. I really only liked that last one of the water against the beach with the houses in the backround. Anyone can take those type of photos. Think of your own stuff. Find more color saturdated subjects.
