This is my first upload and my first real attempt at editing, so CC welcome. But please go easy as I'm not completely confident in editing yet! Just some basic bits done using aperture, I think it's lost a little bit of quality from the downsize, but I still personally think it's okay to begin with? Thanks for looking! :)

I think this picture may have been better without all the cars in it. What is your subject that you were trying to take here? It doesn't seem to be to clear to me

Yeah I agree, I would have love the photo to not have any cars, but unfortunately there was no angle I could get it without having cars or houses in. Well the subject I suppose would be the sun coming through the trees, I thought I'd done okay in getting that to stand out, but looks like I'm back to the drawing board!

It seems clear you are capturing some interesting light through the trees. Continue to work on the processing. It may not be the "perfect picture" some expect to see but it's nice and there are things you can learn from it.

I wouldn't be surprised if you can change a few things and get some effects with the sun that add interest and make the cars less intrusive.

Oh right that's good then, thanks :) yeah like I said it's the first time I've sat down and had a proper go at editing, so I'm not 100% confident in my own skills yet.

Yes, I was trying to emphasise the shadows more to bring the foreground in more, I think that would help. Anything else you could reccomend I should try to try to eliminate the cars?

Thanks for the input :)
