briarrose 0 Posted April 15, 2004 Ulf--you have a good eye--and this photo is a perfect example of it. The composition is strong, interesting and visually appealing. The only real problem (and the reason I didn't rate it higher in terms of aesthetics) is your post-processing. This image looks like an image straight out of a digital camera. It is a little soft--it needs to be sharpened; have the contrast increased slightly, and perhaps the hue/saturation tweaked, as well. If you're serious about your digital photography, you should be learning Photoshop, and using it to post-process...or, if you're still dabbling (or just can't afford it right now! ;-)), there are other consumer level programs that range from freeware (Gimp) to around $99 (Photoshop Elements, PaintShop Pro) that will do an excellent job of making reasonable autoadjustments, until you learn to do manual adjustments. I suspect that your digital camera might even have come bundled with some image adjusting software, that will at least handle contrast and hue/saturation adjustments in some form--and I think the images you're turning out are good enough straight out of the camera, that you should get very decent results on "auto"--enough to make your photos look more snappy, at any rate! :-) Just my two cents! I think you're too good at what you're doing for your images to be suffering from the post-processing blues! ;-) Link to comment
