49 May 24 Comment The window makes a very nice frame of the blue sky and sea. I am glad that this scene caught your attention and you shared it with us. Not much that I can suggest for any improvements. Well done! May 17th
49 May 24 Comment I love the color in the sky and as you pointed out how the mountain peak echoes the roof line of the barn. If I were to do anything, I would crop in from the left about half way to the barn. I don't think it is adding to the photo. Perhaps crop in from the right to remove house in the background. May 17th
49 May 24 Comment Great story! Great photo of John with a wonderful expression. You will treasure this forever!

What I find about this photo is that John does not standout. He gets lost in the background. I took your photo into Lightroom Classic and did some manipulations to make John standout from the background. I hope I did not go too far. I created a mask of the subject, cleaned it up by subtracting with the brush, then inverted it. Once I had a mask of the background, I then decreased the exposure about 3/4 stop, i.e. not too much. When done with this step I did a slight vignette in the effects panel.		 May 17th
49 May 24 Comment This is an awesome study in the geometric shapes and lines of city buildings. I really like it. Your photo caught my eye right away!

I am not put off by the white background as it does emphasize the geometry of the subject, but as David has suggested you may want to try a sky replacement.		 May 17th
49 May 24 Comment My club's topic for May was "weathered". I could have used a photo such as this!

I too find some of the background to be a distraction. David's comments are right on the mark. You may even want to crop in from the top a bit.		 May 17th
