Need your inputs
Hello Guys,
My first post here. I am a beginner level photographer and looking forward to learn a lot from you all.
Please give inputs about your view on this one.
Thanks,

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.

I really like it Akki.
I assume this was a "right time right place" shot instead of a planned shoot but it would be and awesome place to return to with a model - in something like a long flowing white dress - walking between the barn and the tree as a way of adding a little story into the shot. At the moment the rad barn draws the eye and the glow of the horizon then draws you across to the tree but when you get there there's no story happening, which makes it a lovely shot but without any lasting impression to reflect upon.
I like the edit but the barn does look a little over processed.
Excellent inputs Robert. Yes as you said it is right time right place image, After the thunderstorm i was in mood to visit some random place and found this on my trip.
Awesome find, now go back there with a friend and improve on it :-)
I think Robert nailed it. For what it is, it is very good. However, the barn is over edited, as mentioned, especially the shade side. Just let it be dark. Many photographers seem frightened to have dark areas in their shots, even where naturally there should be shade. I think I would have let a bit more grass appear in the foreground and yes it would have been better if there had been a person or other subject in the scene, such as a bright coloured and clean classic car on the ridge leaving a plume of backlit dust behind it. I see the grassy ridge as being a farm track, or some such.
Have you exagerated the bright spots on the grass, they look far too bright, to me anyway.
Yes Ian thanks for the inputs. You are right. I should have kept little dark shadows on ban. I am beginner so this inputs are lot to me. You are also right about the spots on grass. I exaggerated the bright areas on grass.
Trial, error and review combined make for a very good learning process, just like a good college course, without the expense.
