Joe, the "sculpture" is the zig zag line of logs on the ground. Hence "Woodline". Not exactly my idea of a sculpture, but the artist probably isn't a fan of my photos either. |

Love the way the falls are framed by the trees. I'm with Peter regarding brightness/contrast. |

Its hard to take a photo of an iconic location such as the portland light that doesn't look like everyone else's, but I think you managed it. My only suggestion is to crop a little tighter on the sides, and decrease brightness on the rocks, increase on the light to make it stand out more. |

A friend who retired for construction built one for his Son's home in Oakland California. In their neighborhood, it seems to have turned in to a competition to see who could build the most elaborate or unique library. This image does a good job of recording this little free library. I think there are some opportunities for photographic improvement. Perhaps bluring the background to make the subject stand out more, and filling shadows/decreasing highlights. Its always tough to do mid day photography on bright days. |

Not a lot to add here. I like the composition and the toning. I have never seen the Britannia. Hope that one day we'll be able to get back to England again. |

Oh for the days when I could sit on the floor cross legged (not that I ever could). I love the intensity of expression and the pose. The negative space, however, doesn't work for me. I think the image would have more impact if it was cropped to put David's eyes dead center, staring straight out at me. On a secondary level, I'd consider toning down the bright areas on his thigh and shoulder, and brightening his face to make his "stare" more intense. |

Marissa,
This scene has potential, but requires some significant editing to achieve your objective of focusing on the mountain. Some simple things to do would be:
1) Level the horizon
2) Crop out the bottom half of the picture so that it consists basically of the mountain framed by the trees with the "leading line" of the road drawing you into the scene.
3) Increase contrast and saturation to make the colors of the sky and trees stand out.
If you want to go further, you could decrease the brightness of the snow so that details in the mountain are visible. You can do this if the highlights in the image have not been "blown out". That's determined by your exposure settings at the time the photo was taken. When you take the photo, you need to check your histogram to make sure that the bright areas of the image are not overexposed.
If you aren't familiar with these concepts, I would suggest taking an intro photography course, perhaps as part of an adult education program or at a local community college or high school. PSA also offers some online courses that may be appropriate.
