Cheryl, this is beautifully seen and photographed--sharp as a cactus spine! My only tiny suggestion is that you might want to use the perspective tool, or perhaps the rotation tool, to straighten the image just a tiny bit. It leans a little tad to the right. I love the blue "frame" and yellow flower amid the white painted bricks. #22186Cheryl A. Tessens May 26, 2019
Thanks Gerda!I noticed that it did lean a tad bit to the right but have never used the perspective tool.Looks like I shall give it a try! #51851Gerda Grice May 26, 2019
Cheryl,don't get discouraged when you first use it and it seems to have a mind of its own. I did get discouraged. I eventually learned that he more you use it, the easier it gets. Honest. I wouldn't have believed that, though, when I first tried it (LOL)! Incidentally, I suspect that the very tiny lean in this shot could probably be fixed with just the rotate tool set at about .6--and that's easier to do. #51922Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
