    Hi everyone! Long time listener of the podcast, first post on the forum.

    I like this photo, because it shows an unusual situation, and tells (I think) an interesting story. But I'm looking forward to ear your opinion, thanks!

    Hi joaoandreqff and welcome to the forum!

    I like this shot for the same reason as you do, it suggests a story. The tones here are quite decent. Did you try any other angles?

    Thank you. No, I only have it from this angle. On the right there is a building and on the left a cemitery of abandoned boats, so there wasn't much margin to try other angles. By the way, I changed my mind and I think it works better in color:



    Anyway, I think that the biggest problem with this photo is that it's too busy.

    Colour does work much better, allows for the viewer to see much more of the details.
