Yes, reconsidering the original may be better. Thanks. |

here's some web stuff I found:
" The left to right rule in photography states that images should be read from left to right. This is because the human brain is wired to scan photos in this direction.
This compositional rule is especially important for sports, action, and wildlife photographers. It's said that pictures with a left to right flow feel more natural and peaceful, while right to left creates more tension.
Yes, left and right do matter. A lot of people claim that (at least in cultures with left-to-right writing direction) pictures where the "flow" of the picture is left-to-right (subject looking, pointing or moving to the right) feels more natural and peaceful while right-to-left creates more tension." |

Since you asked, according to a farmer that I met while shooting the above image (he stopped in his van and asked if I wanted to shot walls on his property), the walls date back to the 1700's. I took him up on his offer and followed him to his fields with thousands of feet of these walls. The walls were constructed to clear the land of rocks and provide restraint for livestock. I sent him photos of his walls and fall colors, he invited me back anytime- a new friend! Here is another image I took of those walls on his property. |

This is not something you see everyday, a Russian lady standing in front of a pile of dead fish! It is an intriguing photo, sharp and a good range of tones.
One thing that I learned from my image eval workshop is that you should flip an image both horizontally and vertically. In this case, what do think about her looking to the right? |

Hi Jill, hood ornaments make great subjects for photos, some of them are real works of art. The chrome on the hood natural leads your eye into the subject and there is an interesting way the ornament picks up the green color of the hood and some red (or could that be paint on the ornament??). I would consider trying to subdue the white reflected lines in front of the Goddess- this could be done by lightly painting over with green sampled close to the reflection, maybe set the opaque at 50% or so. |

Nice shot. I particularly like the way the concrete surface is wearing away to reveal that beautiful red brick underneath and the warm tones of the wall. If you had the ability to rearrange items, the photo might be better without the large plant in the foreground. Also I agree with Jill regarding the sky. |

Thanks Lou. I wish I had experimented a little more with the composition of this scene. I'm starting to realize that when the camera is so mobile as it is with a drone, you really need a rough plan before you put to the air. |

I was somewhere around the max AGL and this shot was taken at the end of the flight as an after thought. The clouds were great for photos and most of the shots were foliage and clouds with patches of blue. Of the shots, this one I liked the best, but it was off center- live and learn! |

Hi Don, I like the photo and the varieties of hues that the water takes from a greenish color to blue. I would be happy to just see the island and not the shore, the white water extending diagonally from frame corner to corner. |

Very interesting shot: the clouds, the geology, and the colors. You chose a good time of day to get nice shadows which helps define the topography. |

I'm almost liking this one better than the original. Thanks for posting it. |

Abandoned buildings make great subjects, at first I thought this might have been taken at the Salton Sea (I suppose there are many Salton shots taken by members of this group). The photo is very colorful and there also appears to be a Moiré pattern produced by the roofing. |

Thanks Alex. An old farm machine working the fields would be great. |

Wow, great shot! The contrast between the snow and black lava is dramatic, the fact that the snow partially melted made the photo even more interesting. I spent time in Iceland and never had a chance for a shot like this, mostly due to rain and fog- I am a new droner and not sure how moisture would effect the operation. I think you made the best out of the original image. |

We all know that you can't fly a drone on the moon as the moon is devoid of an atmosphere :). I love this shot, creative, well executed and good technical skills. |

Hey Alex, you have some great spots to photograph where you live! The late afternoon sun adds nice warm tones to the photo and is a good contrast with the blue sky. Not knowing the location or obstacles, I don't know if it was possible to shoot from another angle to get the water tower in front of open sky instead of the mountain, but that may help define the subject more. Good interesting shot and nice post processing. |
