“Even the darkest skies let the light through.” Photo shot in Salem.

I am not professional but really love photography, don't know where to start to become good at it.

During the captures of these photos I tried to follow the equal framing principle of getting things in sync lines.

Any areas of critique?

these pics are edited using my own custom preset so they all look similar.

Hi, I am an amateur photographer who is trying out the photography. These are few of my shots - mostly they are either inclined towards sunsets/landscapes and the common feedback i get is the pic is looking good but the emotion is missing - could it be due to I dont usually click human subjects often? Is there anyway I can bring more emotion to the frame rather than just clicking the aesthetic frames?

Whiskers are usually associated with familiar mammals like cats, dogs, and rats. But some birds, like the brown-headed barbet above, seem to have them too. These aren’t actually whiskers, but rather specialised, stiff feathers called rictal bristles.

Found around the base of the beak, these modified feathers serve several important functions. They act as tactile sensors, helping birds detect touch and vibrations - useful while navigating tight, cluttered spaces. They also assist in foraging, allowing birds to sense insects close to the beak and improve strike accuracy. Additionally, they provide protection, forming a barrier that shields the eyes from debris or struggling prey.

In species like the brown-headed barbet you see above, which spends much of its time in dense tree canopies, these bristles likely play a key role in both navigation and feeding. Despite being primarily frugivorous, barbets often consume insects, making these subtle feather adaptations surprisingly vital.
