Let me know what you think

Two photos for your viewing pleasure

I really like the subject of the second shot but I think it would have been better if you included the entire entrance in the shot, cutting it off destroys the composition. The stairs seem blown out a bit while the walls lose detail, might have been a good HDR shot to capture all the detail in the wood. Very interesting.

I agree with Rick on the 2nd. My eyes climb the stairs and then the doorway is chopped off and I am disapointed.
Maybe from the same distance but the camera lower from a kneeling position and without tilting the camera upwards would work better.

The 1st is nicely framed but something seems out of kilter?? Is it a hillside or is the camera not level? The tree on the left is close to being blown out so I would maybe crop it out and just have a 3 sided frame.

Nice shots

I do like both shots. You may want to crop out the tree on the left side. It's more of a distraction by being tilted. Also, adjusting the tone curve (or increasing the contrast) will give a little more richness to the color.

I agree with Ken and Rick on the second one. Definitely an interesting building, especially the doorway above the stairs. This photo has a nice, vintage (almost Great Depression era) feel to it.

You're on the right track. Keep up the good work!

Here are the same steps only in a vertical crop.

Another pic from the same road trip. No critique on the on the photo is needed. Just wanted to let you know that Montana has some great festivals.
This bill board is about 10 miles east of Missoula. I don't think I will be going to the festival. lol
