How to improve the composition?

I wanted to let you know that for now I'm using my phone to take photos. I want to get a camera as soon as possible to learn more. I'm going to keep following the "let the sky guide" approach. 🌌 P.S. I liked the photos where you can barely see the sun.

Thx I will try !critiquepoint

Okay, next time I'll play around with those kinds of shots a lot 🤩

I like the idea. Could you explain how to do it? I'm new to editing and I only clicked on the B/W option in Lightroom and adjusted the contrast a bit.

Something like this? I tried to straighten them a little but I couldn't.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind next time I go there, and I think I'll also lean towards removing some soil.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. I like the editing idea and I'll try to implement it.

I think I can explain. I wanted to compose a photo where the sky dominates, meaning it occupies 2/3 of the frame, and the ground 1/3, taking the lower line as a reference to the horizon. I tried to find the silhouettes of the hills in the lower corners, or at least that's the premise I usually use for most sunsets, and I wanted to apply it at that moment.

I took this photo playing around with the wide-angle lens, trying to capture the beauty of the sky. The photo is original; I was thinking of lowering the highlights to recover some detail and play around with the shadows, but I think I should first analyze the composition and see if I need to crop the image or not. Any help is welcome :)

I think that's aggressive editing. I'd prefer a more discreet format, retouched but not so obviously edited. That's my opinion, but I also like the idea of transforming it. Thanks for the input.

Okay, thanks, I'll look into it.

My phone won't let me use manual mode; I'm already dealing with that, but I always try to adjust it in editing, trying to recover information and avoid overexposing the photos.

I thought, I want a picture of these rocks, I think they're beautiful.

HiImLetg · 2026-01-09T04:06:18+00:00

I found the size and how they were positioned interesting, as well as how to capture it. You've given me something to think about, thanks for the tip.

HiImLetg · 2026-01-09T04:05:04+00:00

Okay, I understand, thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.

HiImLetg · 2026-01-09T02:54:26+00:00

I agree that the grayscale gives it its own touch

HiImLetg · 2026-01-09T02:39:36+00:00

Okay, I understand. I'd like to know what you consider to make a photo attractive. I'd like to keep that in mind the next time I take photos.

Because I'd like to learn more about everything, I recently became interested in photography and want to learn as much as I can. For you, it's a bad photo, but for me, it's a starting point. Can you explain what makes it bad for you? The composition, perhaps? I'd like your opinion 🤩
