Too large first off. Re size for everybody's benefit, we won't be able to help that much if it doesn't fit a persons screen without scrolling.

They are all very unclear, no main focusing point, no DoF, seem very unsaturated and un-contrasted, (No vibrancy)
I notice black specks, or other dirt/dust on all of the images...perhaps take better care of the camera, this wont happen. (It looks like paint on the 1st, and last...which brings to the next point)
1st and last are the same photo.

VERY Noisy. Perhaps buy some lower ISO Film?
Maybe invest in a better scanner if you plan on scanning images onto a computer, I bet some quality was lost there.

Personally, they are very boring. None of them catch my eye, or stand out. They look like something I would find in my grandma's scrap books from trips 50 years ago.
(However harsh that may sound, it's true)



I am rather disappointed by these, they could have turned out great if you invested a bit more into a higher quality camera. (And yes, I know, you used a disposable, still. I've seen some amazing work done with disposables, and these are not up there.)



I think you have potential if you do wish for photography to become something your interested in perhaps as a hobby etc.
You have lots to improve on, and if you stay in this section for a while I guarantee you will get better.
Take criticism as something you can work on, as I believe you can work on everything. (Although there isn't much to work with when using a disposable.)


Ps: I hope this doesn't scare you off. Almost every body who posts here has gone through this, and look at us now.
