A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

The tree photo is very nice and the boat photo, i really like as well!
Hi Tyler and welcome!
For the tree photo, I would try something without houses in the background. They detract me from thinking "wow, where was that, I wish I could be there!". I would probably darken the trees more for a silhouette look, or lighten them a bit and give them some detail.
The boat photo would probably have been great during golden hour. Unfortunately mid-day tends to be (although not always) uninteresting, even if the subject and composition are fantastic.
As a final, more general note, I personally believe that watermarks are a major distraction 99% of the time, unless they are part of the artistic style of your work (like Nino Batista). Personal preference I suppose.
Wishing you the best; I hope you continue to stay active on this forum and continue to better yourself as an artist!
Hi Bob! Thanks for the feedback!
I agree about the houses in the trees, and I'm working on on finding a similar location and setting to recreate that (if it would only snow here!). In the meantime, I have had a lot of good comments on that picture so wanted to get a more knowledgeable person's input. As for the brightness, how would you go about adjusting just the trees (in either direction)? Because the sun and light is the brightness I want (though WB will be warmer).
The boat photo was captured foggy and misty, how would I bring out that feel more in post? (I feel like editing is one of my major weak points)
As for the watermark, I completely agree. I have since majorly scaled it down so it is less distracting, and would never print a watermarked photo, but I am debating ridding of it entirely.
Once again thanks for all the advice, feedback, and encouragement!
