Thanks in advance!

Here is an edit with the wall, house and power lines out.

The wall adds nothing to the pic. You might also clone out the power lines.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

I'm going to need to learn how to clone things out properly....I have a hard time with powerlines especially when they run through tree branches.

I like the wall, but I would crop differently and lose the house in the top right...

That's not bad. You then lose the power lines at the same time. Good job.

The wall is a big distraction for me. Very un-natural in an otherwise natural scene.
I don't know how far up the creek along the wall you could have gone, but doing do would have eliminated the wall, the house and maybe some of the other structures.

Lose the wall, increase the exposure.

That's where the walkway ended. There's a rail there so that's why I stopped. I was also shooting wtih a prime.
