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!)

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 don't know how youu might improve this shot., maybe a subtle vigniette but really it is very good. For me it is abit busy but then you had no control over the sky an dthe clouds which combined with the rocks make for a very buy photograph. May be I would have prefered it wider with a bit more space to calm it down but I have no idea what you cropped out and so would then include.
This is very well done.
Thanks, I cropped a small amount off the top and bottom but not really that much. I'll bear that in mind for the future though
There are ways to improve this shot, but they involve post processing techniques, and I'm not sure if you're into modifying your work in that way. For instance, adding interesting light to the lighthouse would be one way of doing that. Also increasing the exposure, or adding interesting light to the rock formations on the left and in the lower foreground might help. For ideas on adding light in this way, check out these photographers. You might also consider making it a black and white shot. I know the colors are intense, but it is kind of busy, and a black and white might tone this down but still communicate its power and drama given the dramatic reddish and orange colors in the shot. Nice work!

Thanks, I tried converting it to black and white but I feel like the image wasn't as interesting without the colours. I also tried other things you suggested, they help somewhat but they make the image seem even more busy. It probably just needs re-shooting to fix the busyness problems, looking at the photo now I can see that I probably should have moved the camera slightly higher and shot a little bit wider.
