About the Image(s)

A busy Santa Monica pier after sunset, with lots of people present doing what spectators do. Taken with my iPhone 16 Pro Max in raw. No post-processing and no cropping.

The composition is good, balanced in the sense that on one side, there is the big wheel, and on the other side, the passing by, and the lady with the phone is adding to the importance of the wheel. Good job.   Posted: 11/12/2025 04:05:34

the title would be "The big wheel". so Gerhard you could crop and leave out of the scene the left part of the passing by people. I guess there were plenty of space, so not to cut lady's feet. you just needed to step aside and change the angle. you always have the theme, I propose to focus on it.   Posted: 11/12/2025 10:53:16

A well balanced documentary image showing a clip of life at Santa Monica Pier. People are experiencing the site and interacting. Good work.   Posted: 11/18/2025 01:36:24
