This photo (like most of mine) are straight out of camera. I figure the better I get, the less editing I'll need to do, and if I'm learning I need to improve my photo taking skills and not my editing skills. (That'll come later.)<br /><br />The black in the foreground are Micah's shoes. The boy won't stay dressed for love or money. It's not a perfect picture by any means, just a work in progress. And she's my favorite dog. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037928148778848386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-28043473057313714462010-11-08T14:31:25.419-05:002010-11-08T14:31:25.419-05:00It's really good.

Did you process it in any software? <br /><br />In addition to the reasons you gave for liking it, the composition is really nice, following the Rule of Thirds.<br /><br />My only not-quite-positive comment/question is: what are the black things in the foreground? They're a little distracting. A careful crop might solve that. <br /><br />What software do you have/use? If you have the Canon software installed for downloading from camera to puter, then you may have Digital Photo Professional. While it is not capable of a lot of things, it is really good at adjusting curves. (this will let you adjust your highlights and shadows and contrast and brightness - you can even adjust one of the primary colors to enhance it over the rest - red, green, blue). I read an article in Popular Photography that explains it very clearly and simply. I'll try to find it and link it in another comment...<br /><br />Good work. Good for you for learning and trying and sharing.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472241005977420201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-53459037306013632282010-11-08T13:17:55.060-05:002010-11-08T13:17:55.060-05:00What a nice picture!What a nice picture!wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771187881429333283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-7884892109250612892010-11-06T22:40:53.631-04:002010-11-06T22:40:53.631-04:00If it weren't so elusive, would it still be &q...If it weren't so elusive, would it still be "good" then? Don't we define good as something that is challenging and difficult to achieve?<br /><br />That is a great shot, and I love it. I never thought of late evening like this being a good time for photos. That shows what I know, huh? :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.com
