stevev1969 Posted June 4, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've finally worked out how to resize so I can post photos. I can't work out why I like this so much. Any comments, suggestions very welcome as I'm on a steep digital learning curve. Thanks.

Marquinius Posted June 4, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 4, 2009 Steve, Glad you found the resize button . Nice composition and pleasing to the eye indeed. Some thoughts (as you're on that curve ): - see what happens when you work a little on contrast and tonality - try some sharpening in the centre I don't know what you're using: photoshop, iphoto, elements, aperture, but most of them allow you to do some curves. Sharpening is always "less is more", but a little touch to focus might enhance it. But that's all me nagging and on the same learning curve.

stuny Posted June 4, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 4, 2009 Steve - There is something very appealing about the complexity and composition, but I don't quite know what. I too felt it needed post processing and did a very quick adjustment. I'm certain other Forum members can do a better adjustment than I did.

soleforeal Posted June 4, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 4, 2009 Stuny! that looks like an entirely different photo. Both have a different appeal to them that are pleasing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevev1969 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks very much for the suggestions and comments. I'm trying to get my head round Elements 3 which came with my Digilux 3. It's finding the time with family life and work to read the books and keep repeating what has been learnt. I'll have a go at sharpening and levels(?) Marco, thanks. I really like what Stuart has done there and it has changed the photo. That being said, I quite like the dreamy aspect to the original. I'll hopefully get some more shots posted now I've found that resize button. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted June 5, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 5, 2009 I like the organic composition and like what Stuart has done. The original is too dark and grey...a fine image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonkirk Posted June 5, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm always in tyhe middle: I like Stuart's revised edition, but I'd like it to be darker - a bit more like the original in that respect.
