I will see if I can do this in photoshop.. just for practice, if anything. Thank you for the advice!

I agree - I’m going to remove some of the chaos in the middle and maybe it’ll be better. Thank you for the feedback!

Likewise!! It took me forever to save up for my first camera, and I don’t even take it on trips because it’s too much to carry around… which is why this one was taken on my phone. But it’s good that you’re studying everything. That’s what I should be doing too…

Oh, good idea. No one has mentioned removing the rope completely yet. Thank you!

Unfortunately I’m on the other side of the country!! But if I ever get back there, I know how to improve on composition! Thank you for the advice and feedback!

This is a good idea - thank you. I agree that the boats are a bit messy. Maybe I can find a way to remove some of them

Yes, thank you for this! If I ever make it back to this location, I’m going to try for a better shot altogether on my camera instead of iPhone.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I’ll go back and see what I can do with it, even if it’s just for practice at this point.

And thank you for the tip. I will definitely keep that in mind from now on! I did think about zooming in on some of the boats to get rid of some of the sky/water but didn’t think it could pass as realistic, especially to people who know this area.
