New to the group (and to Fstoppers)!
Posting some of my photos in a few groups to get this train started. Just finished uploading a bunch of my portfolio to this site, looking forward to engaging with y'all!

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

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.

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 like the way you are led into the distance in this shot. I had a look at your portfolio Mike and I can see where your interest is(monochrome) but beautifully composed shots.There are a lot tagging along on this train.
Thanks Geoff - appreciate the kind words! Monochrome is indeed my passion, though I've just started getting into astro.
What do you like about this image Mike?
That's a really good question - coincidentally, not one I'm accustomed to answered, so thanks for asking!
- The dark tones of the mountains and foreground foliage help to create a clear tonal separation (this is why I love shooting rainy scenes!)
- The mountains on the left-hand side added a sense of depth to the scene, and they have enough weight to anchor the image
- The two dominant mountains created a natural cradle for the lone footpath, which helped center my attention when I first explored this scene
Personally it's my favorite question when someone posts an image or simply asks for critique. Instead of writing about what I see, I want to know what you see! Great response :)
I'll definitely be asking myself this question proactively moving forward - good insights.
For some more background, this was taken along the A82 through Glencoe Scotland - that road is an absolute dream! I took a lot more, some of which are on my profile and IG - I even submitted this to the landscape CTC!
