Thanks for this, much better. I need to go practice to my colour editing, it's my greatest weakness.

One thing that may help you along is to use the auto tone/contrast/color adjustments, just as a checking tool. In most cases, it should immediately reveal any cast.

I am also very bad at color correction and auto tone has always done a better job than me lol

I also suck at color which is why I was doing b/w photography for a very long time.

Auto tone makes half my pictures piss yellow. I just drag the RGB curves right up to their clipping points and sometimes try the dropper tool and go from there.

I don’t mean offense by this, I just want to try to learn to get better at taking pictures.

From a technical standpoint (framing, shadows, etc) what do you love about it?

E: I’ve wanted to ask this question a lot but have hesitated because I realize it can sound condescending.

images are more than the sum of their parts - a successful picture is usually the coming together of those aspects you mentioned filtered through the photographer's specific vision. I don't know if a photo can necessarily be "understood" by breaking it down into its individual pieces, its gotta work as a cohesive unit with all of these things interacting with each other in a way that creates a new kind of alchemy.

that being said the things I like about that image are the colors, the composition, the buildings poking up in the background. but as a whole it sort of just speaks to my sensibilities and it pleases my mind.

The interest is the relationship between the natural and human elements. The framing gives both leading lines to help navigate the frame, and light adding depth in planes with less immediate three dimensionality.

Sociologically, one can look at the use of space and the degree of maintenance and security, the proximity to the city, the provision for car parking, the activity of the distant people...

The kind of scene and photographic approach are also reminiscent of other photography, offering further interest to those viewers with such reference points.

I like that the tree shadows on the right create horizontals that contrast with the verticals of the buildings and bridge pylon . I like the way the bridge is framed between the buildings (until it swoops out of the way). I like that there is some overgrowth on the pylon, i'm always drawn to plants where they aren't supposed to be.

But like real nap poo poo said, theres more beyond that stuff. There is a sense of 'apartness' to me, like i'm on a greenway behind a warehouse under a bridge. a place that people usually just travel through, not a place where people hangout. In the distance you can see the buildings that people live and and work in and further down the path you can actually see a couple people. Lastly I like that the plant is trying take back its space.

I enjoy the left side leading off to the city and density via the road while the right side leads more towards nature while under the road that leads to the city nature is thriving and clawing back.

Just to point out how this stuff is art and everyone sees things differently, I hate that pole and how it's crooked and feels like it could easily be cropped out without changing the feel of the scene. I'm very much into symmetry and straight lines and that pole feels like it does none of that. There is a valid counterpoint that I see where getting rid of it unbalances the image and gives the trees on the right too much weight, but I think for me the lesson there is that I just wouldn't take the picture because the chaos bugs me.

This is not to say it makes it a bad picture. Only that we all have different brains.

I do love the curve of the overpass and how it heads into the buildings, the road headed right and narrowing to a vanishing point, and the line of the overpass shadow kind of connecting the two. That's the kind of straight edge stuff I like to find.

the pole works very nicely in balancing the left side of the photo
