p.1 #1 · #266: Dead and Alive

Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post on FM, I'm 16 and learning about photography. I shoot with a Canon PowerShot A550. Found this shot today and thought it fit the topic. Any comments and criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Grant

Grant,

Welcome to the WA. Nice shot. I think you might try a little more contrast or maybe use brighten it up a bit. I keep looking for some whites. If you can you might want to clone out the power lines. Good Luck.

Thanks Karen for the comment. I got rid of some of the power lines and lightened it up a bit. I don't have photoshop, but i am using The Gimp. What do you think of the changes?

Grant,

Like it much better. I also do not have PS. I figure I just have to take better shots since I can't do a lot in post. Good Luck.
