og 0 Posted July 28, 2005 "Technically" speaking, this picture is awful: I was at full reach (210mm) almost full open with just enough stability/speed to get the shot... moreover: it is heavily cropped (I couldn't get closer to frame it the way I wanted). Still, I like the composition and its trail line. Your opinion? Link to comment
paul_ulici1 0 Posted July 28, 2005 I do like the composition and the colors, you're right though, technically it isn't top notch. Did you sharpen it? It looks like there's some slight halo around the cross. Link to comment
og 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Yes, I sharpened it... and rather 'heavily' as you noticed... It is probably possible to make a better job: I will retry differently (less USM, more Masking on the cross). Thank you for your comment about composition. Link to comment
og 0 Posted July 29, 2005 I cropped less of the original picture, darkened completely the cross in order to increase the contrast with the sky/trail, instead of using too much USM. It's probably slightly better this way... (previous version shown here, for comparison) Link to comment
