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.....).

When I look at it, I’m drawn to the sunset. All your lines lead there, even that funny cloud streak that’s going in the opposite direction of all the others. It works. After I look at it, I realize “Oh, there’s something to the right.” And now my attention bounces back between the two. How to fix? No idea :) It’s a good photo though.
thanks Tong think the funny cloud is a contrail from an aeroplane , thanks again
Victor, you've got a wealth of leading lines to work with, as well as great colors. For me, when an image feels out of balance... sometimes it's about missing the rule of thirds.
Here's a sample edit. I put your castle at the upper right intersection of the thirds line... horizon on the upper parallel line... sun on the left vertical line. This shrinks your foreground water just enough not to over balance the shot. It also makes the diagonal line of the wave lead the eye smoothly through the shot.
So I edited this in a landscape format. It could also possibly be tinkered with as a portrait orientation. :)
This is beautiful and I relate to being drawn to the castle and the sunset simultaneously.
