Anyone based in San Diego? And thoughts on the scene there?
What's up guys. Moving out to San Diego for a new position in about a week and am hoping to connect with anyone in the area. Have had great experiences linking up w guys on the East Coast to shoot content etc. so hoping to keep that momentum going. IG is @nickxtaylor. Also interested in thoughts from guys who have spent time there on the dating/networking prospects. Have heard that the ratios are often quite bad due to military etc., so will be working to access higher status venues to get around that issue.

Photo Composition Feedback
Hey what's up guys. Hoping to get input on the composition of a pic I was thinking about posting to IG grid. The problem is I'm slightly off-center in the frame such that I don't adhere to the rule of thirds horizontally in the frame (vertically seems fine). I tried fixing with the content-aware move tool in photoshop but couldn't get it to come out looking right. Wondering whether the pic is still postable as is or whether I should scrap it. If it's still usable, thoughts on my color grading ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've included 5 versions of the pic. The first three are edited and color-graded (playing with a few different ideas), the fourth is edited but not color-graded, and the last one is the original pic for reference.

@Eli Hollingsworth Hey I appreciate the feedback. I'm still learning photoshop + lightroom so any pointers there would be great. I'll send you a chat with a dropbox link to the pics. Regarding my placement in the frame, I realized too late I was off-center but unfortunately this isn't a location I have regular access to.
Thoughts on photo
Went to a pitch night and got what I think is a good "work" photo. Thoughts?

To be honest I don't think this is a great shot. Definitely look at the example IG's that Michael posted to get a sense of what we're going for. There's multiple people in the shot, clothing isn't the best, angle isn't great, and the surroundings aren't particularly engaging. Idk if you were planning to post this to IG, but I wouldn't. You have to ask whether a person who doesn't know or care about you would be impressed by the photo and for this pic (imo) the answer is probably no.
IG Photo Feedback Request
Hey what's up guys. Was recently down in D.C. and had the opportunity to connect with @Ari Bailor to get some photos to start fixing my IG. Hoping to get feedback on whether any of these shots are viable for the grid and if so, which one is best to post (based on posing etc.). The standard protocol seems to be to avoid carousel posts, so I want to make sure I make the best choice. The pics are unedited, but I've been playing around with photoshop / lightroom the past few days so the people etc. in the background can be removed. I also just bought Corey Cha's presets. I'm new to this so any additional advice would also be greatly appreciated.

@Erwin B Thanks for your thoughts. Let me know what you think of the updated pic (in my new post).

@Aryaman Sharan Thanks for these suggestions, this was very helpful. You're right about the rotation but I also think the pic was taken at a slight angle which makes everything look more tilted. I tried fixing it but not sure if it's much better. I'd be interested to know what you think of the edited pic (I made a new post).
Photo Editing and Color Grading Feedback
What's up guys. After my recent post on here I took the feedback I received and made some photoshop edits and played around with the color grading. Hoping to get feedback on whether the edited version is postable or whether there are additional revisions I can make. I've included both the original shot and the updated one. Still learning here so I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
