What is #6 Point Aux Barques USLSS?
You forgot to mention those who have been taking (not making) pictures for som.e time but are still bad photographers
Nice use of Fibonacci spiral in #6, and the channel markers add a nice touch of spot color! Your morning walk images are always a treat.

The dog walk that produced the flower photos that I posted recently occurred on a fall day near the end of October. With everything now covered in snow, I enjoy seeing what will be coming in a few months.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
The train provides scale allowing us to gauge the height of the buildings.
Some people will always find fault, but they don’t matter. You should be happy, and your friend delighted with this. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of very good!
How I started as a photographer
When I was around 13 years of age in 1949 (yes I am that old) my dad gave me a simple and cheap camera that took, I believe, 12 postage stamp size black and white photos. I took 12 pictures of black and white cows which dad proclaimed were the best damned photos of cows he had ever seen! I was hooked.
Serious photography began with slides taken during a 3 year tour of duty in the US Navy, which included voyages to the North Atlantic and a trip to Paris. What great times for an 18 year old kid.
Employment as an engineer for IBM and Grumman Aircraft afforded me business trips to England and Italy, and vacations during and after retirement allowed me to take leisurely trips to, Italy, Greece, Ireland, France, Alaska, the Scandinavian countries, the Mediterranean and Caribbean, China and Tibet, the Dalmatian Coast, Turkey and other places my 87 year old brain has hidden from memory.
I still shoot birds in Florida with my 600mm zoom, and intend to continue shooting until I get old!

It is. This hard copy was given to me and I have no use for it. Instead of throwing it away I thought someone may want a large print of all 526 pages! LOL!
When I was a child (1940s) our father taught my brother and me the names and details of each of the L I Sound lighthouses so we could navigate at night from Clauson Point in The Bronx. What wonderful weekends day and night spent on L I Sound. I can still feel the nighttime chill and smell the water. Picking blueberries on Eatons Point was a treat!
I have a Microtek ScanMaker i900. It was used for a short time in a university micro-biology lab. Since then I have used it to scan 35mm slides as well as negatives and positives of all sizes. I used it last with Windows 11 but have switched to an iMac. and no longer need it (I'm 87 years old) and do little high resolution scanning. I will send you pictures of all that is included in the package, including holders for 35mm slides (12 at. time) up tp large prints. I also have the 71 page User's guide. IM me for more info.
My wife and I have been to Hawaii, done Alaska by ship and the Hurtigruten round trip during the summer, and agree with you. Even the 10 minute stops offer photo ops from the ship. I would do this again, before Alaska or Hawaii. As I recall we had several half hour stops most days, but this may change depending on how much commercial business they need to do at each stop.
Why not just crop to vertical and leave out all the distractions on the left. A vertical subject almost always likes a vertical format and fills the frame better.

How should I treat the person? Remove? Darken? Blur?
Any other suggestions (other than telling you her name and email?)
A tighter crop off the sides and top would remove the steam that competes with the bison. The two large bison looking toward the juvenile becomes a different but more focused image IMO.
