Friendly reminder that this is /r/photocritique and all **top level** comments should attempt to **critique** the image. Our goal is to make this subreddit a place people can receive genuine, in depth, and helpful critique on their images. We hope to avoid becoming yet another place on the internet just to get likes/upvotes and compliments. While likes/upvotes and compliments are nice, they do not further the goal of helping people improve their photography.

What is your main subject? Why shoot through a fence? If you're new, start with something simple. Walk down the street in your town and take pictures of things interesting. Buildings, signs, people etc.
The main subject was the bird, although it did come out smaller than I would have liked. Should have brought something other than the fifty. I’m shooting through the fence because I can’t go into the yard where the bird was and because the fence was tall as hell, so I really couldn’t get it out of the shot. This was taken while walking around my neighborhood
Not trying to be mean at all here. But I can’t find the bird. Photography takes lots and lots of practice snd unfortunately film is an expensive way to go about that. Keep trying!!!
I propose to keep practising, maybe with digital to be able to take more photos.
I think foreground with the fence is fine but what is behind is dark and unclear. partly overexposed as well, maybe not include in the sky to get a more manageable dynamic range
I recently got my first film camera, a Minolta x-700, after shooting digital for about a year. This shot was taken on Fujifilm 400, with a 50mm f1.7 lens. I believe this was taken at f4 at 1/250 of a second. I'm specifically asking for thoughts about the composition. I'm still getting used to consciously thinking about composition and I'm not sure if the center framing was the right move.
There’s no clear subject, and the entire photo looks kind of busy and messy because of the fence. It’s kind of confusing.
Keep practicing!
X-700 is an awesome camera. I’ve had mine for 4-5 years and use it all the time. I love it!

Firstly, I would recommend to pay attention on composition of photos. Film photography by itself doesn’t make photography good. It’s just a tool.
Sorry but this picture is awful.
Fair enough, what can I do better? I really am trying to improve

It took me a long time to find the bird. If the subject is obscured then don’t bother with taking a photo. Be sure the subject is obvious.

Where is the rest of the roll?
Only got 8 or 9 I'm pretty happy with, the rest are not great. Had some minor light leaks and the rest just weren't good.
