hello people,

I am just trying to learn how to attach the photo to my post. I saw liamh's advice on this one to another fm'er.

You are free to c&c. The photo is my youngest daughter.

It was taken at the park when I've had the camera for about 2 weeks. Ive set the white balance manually and I believe I used my 17-85 mm lens.

I like how she stood out despite her cranky expression. Perhaps because it was 40 degrees that day and it was hot despite the shade.

thanks all

Try just typing the url of the image into your post - that works for me (but I'm using imageshack for my hosting).

Hi fotochick,

Very nice image. Good shallow dof with the focus on the eyes. Two things I feel could be improved in this image.
1. The subject is too centered for this horizontal crop. Either move a bit to the side or shoot it verticaly.
2. The blue thing on the side distracts a bit. Use a adjustment layer and locally desature this color so it becomes less of a distraction.

Regards,

Marnix

Right click the image in Flickr, "Copy Image Location" paste into your message and delete the stuff after .jpg

I'd try cooling it down a bit too, the whole image looks just a little red to me, if you shot RAW try lowing the colour temperature a little bit, if you shot JPEG add a cooling filter adjustment layer, and play with the opacity to suit.

Nice photo though

Chris

Well as I say, it's not a lot, just a little too red for my tastes, of course you could have taken it at sunset so perhaps she should be glowing that lovely red ?

Either way, you might say you don't know much about photoshop, but you certainly seem to know how to hold a camera. And you'll never be stuck for people willing to help you out in photoshop here.

thanks, Chris!

I should have said that i have no photoshop skills AT ALL. .

I am in the midst of getting books that people have recommended - most are scott kelby's books.
