About the Image(s)
This image was taken with my iPhone 15 Pro in the amusement park of the Old Town of Kissimmee, FL. The time was 7:50pm, so the sun was setting but still bright. The iPhone settings were ISO 25, f/2.8, and 1/150 seconds.
I severely cropped the image, and adjusted the highlights and shadows. I wish there were people riding the ferris wheel, but the rides were all shutting down.

I think the crop has helped a lot, as the original has too many distractions in the lower part of the image. I agree some passengers would have helped the image - but you have what you have. The adjustments you made have worked fine. Posted: 10/03/2025 19:32:36
Lovely colours at sunset which makes for a very pleasing image…. I agree with Charles' comments on the crop etc. Posted: 10/07/2025 10:54:24
Great image but for me, I think a portrait crop would work best. I feel it gives us a sense of the massive sizes as well as a way to eliminate some of the distractions. You are becoming quite an IPhone photographer! Posted: 10/20/2025 11:52:54
Nice shot of a wheel. The image is sharp. To me, the cropping is too tight. You could have gone down till the electric pole and a little more on right side too. The sky is dull, what about replacing it with an evening shot of sky? Posted: 10/21/2025 14:12:00
