Smile New to the forum

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum too, been lurking and reading for ages while thinking about joining for a while. Sold a framed print of one of my photographes last week so I though I best join and get some advice on how to's and here I am!!

Below, if I have done it right, you should see two of my attempts. Both are early morning shots along the River Murray in South Australia. One depicting the quiet stillness of the river in early morning and the other of the cliffs on one side of the river. Any thoughts welcome

Thanks!

Hey popey, I'm also new to the forums. I'm loving the reflections and the contrast in the first image. It looks great. Keep it up

Welcome to posting at DPS, you will probably find that you have just lost yet another few hours out of each week! Love the river shots, was one of them the one you mentioned selling? Thanks for sharing them either way.

Thank you both for the welcome.
@Jim, not the one i sold as one that I have been told "breaks all the rules"! It is on the river, taken at sunrise and with a centred horizon.

Also nice! You're lucky to be where you are, my local river has about half a metre of dirty smelly water in it.

Welcome to DPS. These are two great photos, great perspectives in both. I look forward to seeing more form you. PS: I love the flaming arrow shot you added.

Default Welcome to DPS!

Love your shots. In the case of your flaming arrow shot, breaking the rules was the right thing to do. At least, that's my opinion.
