Castle of Populonia for FP

I would like to propose it in FP, what do you recommend? The sky is not beautiful, but the child who points to the castle tower I find it delightful and it seems to me that it is a beautiful photo to propose. Should I cut the sky a little more?

Hey @PROPOLI87: , I really like the composition! Cutting more sky would probably do more harm than good to that and I'm not sure if that would increase your chances at FP. --El Grafo (talk) 12:25, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. The photo has already been presented in FP, and it didn't go well. But the problem wasn't just the sky. Maybe next time. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 13:43, 7 December 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87(⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 13:43, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

General feedback on my photos, please

Hello all! I've just added seventy-something photos I've taken over the years to the Commons. It's (nearly) my first time sharing photos here; I hope some are of use.

They're all collected on my Wikipedia user page. Would love it if you'd take a look and let me know any general trends of things I tend to get wrong / could look to improve.

Here a handful of what I think are the most interesting / well composed pics I've added:

I'm just an enthusiastic iPhone snapper, so it's unlikely anything you say will be too basic :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan Deamer (talk • contribs) 00:00, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Hey Jonathan! Fellow enthusiastic iPhone snapper here . I was just thinking, for the last photo of the Tube roundel, if you had shot the sign from directly in front, it would have made for a better-looking photo as well as more useful for Wikipedia. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 20:21, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
