Guess there's only two of us interested in civility.

Too bad.

This is the Ferris wheel at National Harbor in MD at night, from a water taxi.

I really like colourful night shots like yours - China proliferates opportunities for them.

I like Ferris wheels, this one is one I always look for when seeing London.

If you can find the photo credit it would be helpful to note it.

The site offers a free download with membership but also appears to offer it for sale; generally, to protect yourself from copyright infringement issues, just make sure you properly attribute and look for caveats.

Although I always provide a credit for a photo I post, it isn't always available, so in that regard I do take a chance. If only members of a group can see the posted photos then it would not matter much, but that may only apply to private groups.  I took a chance on a new article I just posted on the Creative Arts group where in a comment I posted a number of photos that were sent to me in an email with no credits attached to the photos.  Should I delete them?

Your fawn and bird photos would surely qualify to win you prizes in the Nature Photography contest that is the subject of  that article.

It does look that way, but I think it's just the fact that it is so tall that the iPhone lens distorts the image.  I've noticed that pictures of tall buildings always come out angled.  Sometimes I can correct it with a photo editor, but not in this case.

I get that effect whenever taking photos of tall buildings or trees, etc.  Those on both the right and the left appear to be tipping towards the centre, even though the camera is level.

Distortions occur with certain lenses, if/when they are not parallel to the ground when the shutter is released. Wider angle lenses tend to be more susceptible to distortions … and some editing software offer distortion correction … and, depending on the extent of the distortion, the software may crop the image.

I used the word "level" but I meant the camera is parallel to the ground when the shutter is released - the distortion can occur with longer length zoom as well as wide-angle, and the lens is a Leica lens so quality doesn't make a difference.

Posted a new photo atop the article … I don't think I posted it before, but, if I did, let me know and I'll replace it.

OK so this is not great photography, but a cake I made last week for a Bachelorette party. The dude on the cake is a Bolliwood star.
