A clean and tidy street, with flower pots on both sides of the road belonging to residents themselves, adds a touch of beauty to the environment.
Thank you to Gary Walter for taking the time to share a video discussion amidst his busy schedule. It's worth learning from him! Posted: 11/07/2024 20:03:05
Not sure about the balance in this picture.
I would try taking the picture from the middle of the street, minimizing the tall building sticking out in the back.
Then again, if the goal is to show the contrast between buildings... it's a choice.
