Confused
Can I not post photos in the groups I belong too or only via the portfolio which has stayed stuck on the same allowance for weeks.

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

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.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

One of the things I played with in the darkroom way-back-when and have done in Photoshop more recently (yesterday, in fact) was to correct for distortion where possible. In the darkroom, this happened by tilting the negative stage and/or the easel. In Photoshop, the SKEW tool makes this much easier. (Whatever software you use probably has a similar tool.) The first thing I noticed when I looked at this full screen was that the trees and telephone poles to the left side of the church were leaning left. Also, the sky looks like it is more interesting than the foreground, so I think you could crop some of that and come closer to a rule of thirds composition. Finally, if it were my shot, I would brighten the church a bit.
Thank you for you comment.
About the trees and poles, they are leaned like this in real life, even the pole near the church you can see is leaned, because is a uphill(is not distortion). About the foreground, i was using like a guide to the church, thats why the rule of thirds doesnt work in this photo FOR ME. The rest of sky was boring just with blue and no clouds at all. But thank you again.
