As usual, the advice is to figure out what is interesting and get closer. If you look at this, what is interesting to someone else? A lot of the image is rather static and uninteresting. However, I would guess that what may have interested you, and what certainly might interest someone else is the "vehicle" at the STOP marking - there is a certain amount of humor in what is shown. If you had gotten closer, you might have something like this:

I would also adjust either exposure or scan/printing to get more detail in the darker figure, although that is a matter of taste, and this is the type of photo that would benefit from being sharper. The background is a bit cluttered still, but I don't think that hurts it too much.

Hey Jeff, how do you aquire an image from one of these threads to

demonstrate a technique like you did? E-mail me if you have a moment.

Thanks.

Surely you just drag it to your desktop? I do it all the time to look at colour, levels and so on.

in windows, right click on the image and select copy and then paste it into Adobe Photoshop Elements.....pardon my intrusion with a crop and blur of the village scene image....just a thought and a tentative one at that.<div></div>
