Default Phoenix Sunset and Mountain Vistas

My daughter just got her first camera for her 11th birthday, so I took her to the top of South Mountain in Phoenix to practice. Of course I took my camera too.

Really strong sense of depth and scale with these. Very pretty.

Nice photos. If i can just say though for the first one it would have been good to stick the camera in front of the fence thats blocking some of the shot and on the second in my opinion theres not enough hillside in the shot, maybe think about the rule of thirds next time?

Im kind of a novice so if im out of line then just ignore me but i think that would have made these shots extra special

I kind of like the fence in the first, gives the shot perspective. Maybe if the cross piece was more to the left side.
