2 Trees.
C&C welcomed. Would love to know how to make it better. It seemed like it had alot of potential, but the photo doesnt reflect what I thought it would turn out like. Camera: Canon EOS 300D Digital Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/640) Aperture: f/7.1 Focal Length: 18 mm ISO Speed: 200 Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV Last edited by norbs on Tue Jul 04, 2006 8:08 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Norbs, I think this shot does have potential. Maybe push the saturation and/or contrast a bit to get a richer blue sky and green grass. May need a bit more sharpening as well. If you had the channce to do the shot again, I'd try to get all the right hand tree in shot. Maybe if you got a bit further back and lower you might be able to do away with that bit of vegetation to the left of the two trees.

Thanks John. Was wondering if I had posted a complete dud and people were being kind. Will try what you suggested re. PP'ing the shot. As for compostition, I couldn't really go further right as there was a bin in the way.
Here is the result.  Last edited by norbs on Tue Jul 04, 2006 8:09 pm, edited 2 times in total.
Nice image even if the tree is cropped on the side.
The sky needs to be deeper blue and maybe some warming of the image to give a late afternoon feel to those great shadows on the grass. Lose the border - it overlaps image detail and distracts

I like a lot about this shot, but think it still needs a little work as per Barrie's suggestion. Please also reduce these images it so the longest side is under 800px (these are 1024) as per the FAQ. Cheers Peter

Hi Norbs,
I also like this photo.
I believe you placed yourself in such a way that the reflections off the water were masked by the tree on the left hand side, cool. 
I would have a go at shadow / highlight in photoshop. Regards, CD
Fixed. Sorry about that.
