single photos Untitled

Are there any ways to improve this picture?

Please let me know.

I think a tighter crop to get rid of the people in the background.

with wave girl, picture seems much nicer without the distractions in the background.

I have made a tighter crop of this photo, just as Wave Girl and Jeroen de Beurs said.

I thought of doing this before, but in my opinion the horse was too much to the left (I would like to hold the photo proportion 2 X 3).

But now I like the new one more than this one.

Please take a look at the new cropped photo and tell me what you think of it.

 

1. I would blur the background to add some volume to the image that is flattened by its excessive sharpness.

2. I would play with colour balance (levels, moving middle controls) and/or saturation. The moment is good, but the colours make it mundane, one has to be a bit unrealistic to visually surprise.

Wonderful action. Have you thought about cropping it tighter?

Wow - action!

 

Great shot here.

 

I would offer two simple suggestions.

 

1. Crop out the background

 

2. another stop or maybe two would have brightened the shot up in terms of the detail

I like the shot as you have cropped it, but wonder if it could use just a tad more space on the bottom and left, in which case you could still retain your proportion. It's a great shot in any case. I personally wouldn't manipulate the image other ways, I tend to think photographs lose integrity that way, especially an action shot like this.

Very nice action shot, that makes me feel as if I'm there. I like both versions, for different reasons, but think the original would have benefitted from having a narrower depth of field. It'd be possible to blur the people and vehicles in the background in Photoshop, but difficult to make convincing that way.

It's a nice picture but nothing special...
