I can do better

Sometimes a take a picture and don't pay very close attention to details. Like this one, the there are a half dozen problems with it, all of which can be corrected in postproduction, but most of which could have been prevented. All I have to do is take my time and think, or “see” the picture. In this case I took a snapshot and suffered for it. The symmetry is off, the depth of field is too shallow, the color saturation is weak, it’s not even level (it slopes to the left), and there are a few other problems too. I took this picture on purpose. I walked half a mile in the cold to take it at sundown on a clear day. You would think I would take the time to make a good picture. Damn, I’m going to have to do it again.
