I loaned an old 5 megapixel Lumix point n' shoot to a friend for a while

She is utterly clueless about cameras or anything technological but has an excellent eye I think, here are some choice shots off the card.

I love the photo of the bird buffet (#7).

The guys in the last photo better hope O.S.H.A. is not around to see that ladder. That one is a fine of a couple of thousand $$ because the ladder extends too far above the roof. That fine was put on a contractor in my home town in N.J.

-- and you can't beat the second photo.

Encourage her, show what she is doing right. She seems to understand that it is good to fill the frame with the subject. "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." - Robert Capa

Of course Robert Capa got too close and was disassembled by a landmine.
