Hi Hugh,

the second photo has beautiful hues. The first I'm not sure why you cut the foreground (construction cranes?).

[Hughredcanary]

Hi Luca and thank you luca I looked at the foreground as clutter so removed the mast of the bots you think I should hav left them in, my mane concern is that my editing doesn’t become manipulation, her is another shot of the same location toy ma like



Let me know what you think

Hi Hugh,
the sunset colors are better in the shot you posted earlier but the composition is way better in this new photo.
In the original photo the foreground becomes a disturbing element because it is cut off. Unless exceptional (and I still have to see one, included my own photos) a photo of a sunset with no added elements is just plain boring. The harbor photo with a nice sunset would make for a good stock photo.

Luca thank you I understand what you mean

Oh yes, the last post was much more interesting. Dark and foreboding and interesting.

Hi Hugh,

The village where I live does flood frequently, but I have quite a steep drive so my house is located a good 35 - 40ft above the stream.

My neighbour however lives only 1 ft above the highest part the the stream banks and was flooded twice last year.

Will fish out some photos and post, but I need to find them first, will try to do that tomorrow.

hahaha, we just gotta love those moments. It's prefect cause it's like right in the middle of the shot. I think it just adds something to the shot.
