The Vulcan Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Taken on Holiday 3 weeks ago. Nice shot. That little "ol compact of yours is impressive. Anyway, I think your shot is a little too dark and "flat" and maybe a bit of "treatment" and sharpening might lift it a little. What do you think of the attached? It's not a lot different but just a bit "crisper" maybe? Edited May 10, 2009 by The Vulcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yup that helps Vulcan This shot is a keeper, a lot of nice things going on. My only slight negative is that I can't see enough of the two people to get a sense of their story. I think it's two guys walking, too bad it isn't a young couple holding hands and staring out to sea. But that is really a nitpick. This is a good photo.

Any recommendations on a better free download program for me to "tinker" with? You have brought the photo to life a little more which is what it needed, think I will post the original for you to look at/play with. canuckamuck, yes it was 2 boys walking down the beach, was quite a busy afternoon down there and was lucky to get so little in the photo from this angle. And I agree a young couple holding hands would have "fitted" this photo better but where are they when you want them??!! As a noob I am appreciating the feedback and assistance. Thank you.

Kan Win Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 My only slight negative is that I can't see enough of the two people to get a sense of their story. The Story The man sitting in the middle, in the shadow said in English "what a lovley sunset" to the boys walking by. The lad behind on the right mentioned to his mate in front "what did the gentelman say (in Thai)"? Lad at the front said "it's only 'canuckamuck' making up this story about us two that he can't see enough of our shadow play to get a sense of why we walk around at sunset." Ohh dear, "How sad" said the lad behind on the right, "but surely every picture tells a story" he said. Yours truly, Kan Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 In the story do I live in the house Vulcan photographed. That would be a good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
