Everlane is a solid choice. They focus on styles that are timeless and well constructed so you can shop less. I have clothes I bought from them 7 or 8 years ago that I still get complimented on wearing and look fantastic. I find them affordable - but I realize that won’t be for everyone.

She sure would like to think she is.

Thanks! She’s a Saluki

Or yam. I feel like the texture of the outside is more consistent with yam. But then again - it feels like there isn’t consistent descriptions of the differences.

Oh - I hadn’t seen the collage aspect of it, but I totally see that now. Cool. And yes - you’ve put what I’ve liked about the photo into words. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I’m glad to see others appreciate the unusual crop and to hear what you are seeing.

Congrats on adopting a greyhound. Indi is also a rescue sighthound. She’s a Saluki. Very very entertaining creature who is also extremely photogenic (but really hates it when I pull out the camera on her - which is kinda all the time).

I took this photo of my dog on a beach. It’s always been a favorites, but I feel like it’s audience might be limited because it isn’t a cute photo of a dog. I’d love to hear feedback. Just for kicks, here’s an alternative version of the crop. It tells a really different story:

It’s so nice to see someone remembered my photo from years ago. My husband put this up on Reddit on my behalf.

Yup - its really that big. If California was a country, it would have the 5th largest economy after the US, China, Japan and Germany.

Your usage is more traditionally correct. Typographers and writers agree that the use of exclamation marks (also referred to as ‘bang’ or ‘screamer’) should be done sparingly.

But with so much informal (digital) communication, it’s taken on a new life as an indicator of friendliness.

Unlike the Germans, who have international government agreements that change the rules of their written language, English simply evolves with the next crop of teenage whims.

Which may be another way of saying that while you are correct, your wife is more hip.

I kinda like that it’s dark. It gives the image intrigue.

I really like the gnome. I wasn’t exactly sure what it was at first, but I actually enjoyed feeling like I was peeking through the flowers to see it.

I’m on the fence with the cat. Too much out of focus. But I like the detail of the flower. I just wish the center flower was in focus instead of the one off to the left.

Altogether though - it’s clear you have an eye. Equipment is just a small part of being a good photographer. Nice job!

Taken four years ago in Melbourne during the White Night Festival on my iPhone.

The photo is cropped just a little at the bottom to keep a few additional buildings out. Then desaturated and cooled a little.

 

It’s been several decades since I’ve opened my photography up for critique. I was a photography major back in the day and gave it up as a professional track so i could feed and house myself. I now really only share my photos with three friends. But there isn’t much in the way of actionable feedback - I’d love to hear your thoughts.

This photo was taken on a piece of white paper under a skylight on a cloudy day with my iPhone. I made a few small edits to bring the reds out (such a hard color to get right in digital photography).
