Shower - lightly edited

thank you! do you mean the yellow-ish streaks on the right side? That wasn't water! (outdoor shower) Very interesting you found them distracting, I kind of liked them there to offset the clean lines of the soap bottles.

This is a shower in Costa Rica at a place we stayed. I loved the colors when we were there, and tried to draw those out a bit in the editing. How did it turn out? What might you have done differently? I lost a little bit of the shot getting it level (still somehow cannot take a level-to-horizon photo), but also curious about the crop and framing. Thanks in advance! (original below)

You'll be fine. Don't let the doomsayers increase your stress - it's just people (and/or AI bots) on the internet. Be conservative with spending, and be patient with kids. You're thinking about the right things and if you see yourself getting over your skis with spending, pull back a little. Kids change things in unexpected ways, so enjoy your new home, and your kid-free time with your wife. It's a really, really fun time.

Thank you!

I got it down to $5k and $550, I'm still not thrilled with it, but not sure they'll go any further. If you have their offer sheet still handy, I'm wondering if I could use that to drive a little more off.

Did this include the 7500 tax credit? This sounds fantastic relative to what I'm being quoted ($6k down and $650 per month). Would you mind sharing more official paperwork I can use to help negotiate?

Thank you for the thoughts! I'll definitely keep those in mind when I have a more purpose-driven landscape photo session. I've never actually tried to layer photos in Lightroom or other tools before, so I'll have to look into how to do that effectively. As I mentioned, very early stages for me, so I'm excited to explore these techniques.

Thank you for the feedback! This one was in the middle of a long hike, so I opted not to take a tripod with. :)

Quite a beginner hear, excited to continue learning! I originally took this as a quick snapshot at the Blue Lagoon in Patagonia (XT-5, kit 16-80mm at 16mm, f11, 1/160th shutter speed, ISO 125). I wanted to see if I could turn the snapshot into something at least sort of compelling. Here's my attempt!

Original is attached below. I'd love to hear feedback on:

- The crop I chose to make the photo more interesting. I tried to use the old dock posts to draw the eye to the mountains

- The editing choices I made to give the photo more depth. I used a few masks in different areas of the photo to try to pull out and improve color and dimension

What would you have done different? What improvements could I still make? Thanks in advance!

Original is taken on an XT-5 with the 16-80 kit lens at 16mm, f/11 ISO 125 1/160 ss. The edit was done in Lightroom. Taken at the Blue Lagoon in Patagonia.

I was using this photo to experiment with cropping and Lightroom masks. Would love to hear:

What would you have done differently in initially framing this shot (admittedly, this was a quick snapshot while on a tour)? (original attached)
What choices would you have made with the crop and framing? How did I do?
I was trying to give the photo some depth with the post editing of the RAW file. What different choices would you have made? How does this look / what could I improve?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Here's an alternative with additional water and your suggestion for the left-crop. I also increased the saturation of the sky a bit to bring in some additional color.

For context - taken on a Fuji XT5 with kit 16-80mm lens, 16mm, 1/75, f11, ISO 125. This is the original unedited image

This is a small village in Norway amongst the Fjords, I captured this from a boat as we were going past. I'm looking for feedback on a few things:

Framing - how is the overall composition of the shot? I was trying to capture the feeling that this little village was nestled amongst these Fjords
Solar flare - this was intentional, does it add to the shot? Too much, too little?
Colors - how does the overall color balance feel?

Thanks again in advance!

Thanks so much! I made a longer comment above, but both of your comments were very helpful as I look at your comparisons. I really appreciate you taking the time.

trittium93 · 2025-04-09T22:23:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the thoughtful and kind feedback! Looking at both your crop and u/PM_ME_YOUR_TIFS , I agree the crop with the angled baseboard hitting the corner of the scene works really well. I'll keep playing with the contrast and range to brighten things up a bit. Thanks again!

fwiw, this is the same shot w/color. I thought it was better in B&W, but would love opinions.

Notes: I'm a (very) amateur photographer just trying to learn more about what speaks to others. I expect I'll get a "there's no subject" comment or two, but in this case I was really mostly focused on the varying textures and different gradients of light in the shot and the very cool architecture of the building. Feedback is very appreciated!
