* Red Ball is a well balanced pic, which I consider a piece of art.
* Building w/green clouds is also very eye-catching, however, to my eye the green is a wee bit too stark.
*Red Building w/cloud. Now this is one of your best pix so far. It, also, is a piece of art.
I would like to, also comment on your Cloud pic from "Cloud Form Group". It also fits into the category which I call Art with the capital A. A slight qualification, if I may. Please take another look at this pic and see if you could obtain a slightly better balance if you cropped one edge thus moving the central silhouette away from centre.
Keep up the good work.

They have numerous daily "contests" to test your Photoshop and photography skills. Each entry has the opportunity to receive feedback. Just thought I'd share this resource.

BTW, I really like DSCF6332.; ▶ Reply to This
