Grain silo
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)
New website post
Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).
The reproach
The attitude of these birds seemed me as human , so I took it.
Black Leopard
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.
Leopard spots and high heels
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 think it's very nice! If you want me to nit pick..For me the composition could be tighten on the left side of the image bringing the primary diagonal line (the shipwreck) closer to the left of the crop, I do understand this could be tricky without losing the puddle and cloud completeness. The vignetting bothers me a bit also but that could be personal preference. I love the orange and blue colours in the sky mimicking the reflection and colour of the shipwreck rust.
Thanks for the reply Alexander. I agree about the vignet. Maybe a bit too much on the left side.
I think you have a very good photograph here. The things I keep thinking I might have prefered different, are small and moot as they are to some extent beyond your control, the cloud araingement is not perfect but you had no control. Yes you might have waited for them to change but you'd likley have lost the light and that would have killed the shot and the shoot. The tide would have changed as well, pretty quickly, likely.
Maybe cropping the top might have added to the ship's weighting. But that might not have been good, I can't decide. That is an example of a Photoshop experiment I would have tried, in the past, before my manners were improved.
The vigniette, I am having a vigniette period at the moment, so although this picture is heavily vignietted, I am cool with that.
The one thing I do know for sure, I would have made the horizon, horizontal. Easy and quick and better.
Very good composition, use of colour and general photographic skills. Well done.
Thanks for the reply Ian. The horizon was a bit off. I've straighten it.
Beautiful shot. Really like what you've done here. I think, in the case of trying to be better,i would like to angle a bit so i can capture more of the sun. Maybe take a higher angle to add weight to the ship and break that perfectly split horizon. Good job still!
