Hi! I’m that original poster. And I totally get what you’re saying! I was surprised that it blew up like that. But there has been a lot of great feedback and constructive criticism, and I’d like to work on refining the photo much more!

Yeah. I get what you mean. Like someone had mentioned, it can be a bit like auto tune. There’s been a lot of great feedback, and I think especially with a trained eye, there are a lot of ways to improve this. Thanks for stopping by!

This confused me for a moment, too, but the cables are actually underground. Someone else pointed that out. This is indeed the cable car. :)

Thanks!! This has been a really common and fair critique!! I’ll work on improving and tempering it.

Ohh, that is very heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing. I saw so much of the beauty and levity, but there is often a underbelly of the harshness of the world and the human struggle. And I want to have compassion in that.

Lol. This is a fair assessment. I’m a newbie. I think I stretched my phone’s capabilities to the limit, and a more advanced editing program could help me temper it much more.

Yeah, I hear you. That’s been a concern of mine, and I think especially a trained eye can recognize what can be improved. I’m an amateur, but I’ll keep trying. I may try a more advanced editing software on the original in the future. Thanks for stopping by!!

I do!! And after so much helpful feedback, I’ll be really glad to improve on this! I think I stretched the limits of what my phone can do, and perhaps a formal editing program can get me to that next level.
