Much better. To finish it off a slight rotation to make vertical lines vertical.
It removes a distraction for us nitpickers.
haha! I will work on that. Thanks for looking at them and giving me good feedback!

I have found that among photographers in general, and among judges of competitions, there is a strong predjudice toward travel photography and Landscape Photos. A large portion of my photography is Street Photoraphy and portraits. In fact, I find landscape work to be a bit repetitive - it becomes kind of boring. To, me, this is too bad, since I personally find that people are endlessly interesting. I wonder if I am alone in this.
I can have ADD at times, so I would get so bored, if I only did one type of photography. Of course I am still learning about photography, so I love photographing any and everything. I have found I am better at photographing animals, birds, flowers, buildings, etc., than people. Only because, I have not perfected my skills as a photographer, to take good enough Portraits. But, I am taking a class to get better at it. I also, like viewing other peoples photography. And I like it all. It is interesting to me, to see what other people create with their cameras. Yes, the internet is flooded with birds, flowers, and waterfalls. But I still find them fun to look at. I really love street photography, and especially B&W. I love night photography, but I "really" stink at that. I have never entered any contests, nor will I, so I can't argue your point about the bias towards travel photography and Landscapes. But, it sounds like you have found your niche, and I would continue to do that type of photography, and not worry about other photographers/judges prejudices. If you like it, do it. And I am positive you are not alone, just google street photography and portraits and you will find thousands of photographers who love it as much as you do. If you like to show off your work, go to National Geographic's Your Shot. They have contests all the time, and you can submit your photos and get feedback. Also, it is not just about nature and animals. actually I see a lot of people and street photography on there, and it gets a lot of attention. Good luck and keep on shooting!
For this to be a first attempt. I'd say you found your niche!! Awesome!

This is my first try at photo manipulation. Hope it is liked.
Love the photo, agree with tinplater, I'd remove the unicorns and maybe the purplish orbs, or whatever the term for them is, LOL Keep the one in the center that is over the cabin, it looks good. But overall it is very good. great job

Nice.
I've never seen a blue pigeon before.
Thanks. I assume it's a pigeon. But I am not much of a bird expert, so I am not so sure. I am not good enough with PP to change any colors lol Wish I were. Thanks for looking in.

Our rug rat is a high school senior. I was going through some of her softball pictures from last year.
Stretching to make the play at First. The ball is just hitting her glove.
Playing Third, she caught a line drive and doubled the runner off of First.
With a home run swing, she popped a blooper to Second. And broke her bat in two pieces. $300.
great capture! My granddaughters play softball too.
