Grabbed this yesterday whilst out with my daughter. I'm pleased with how it looks with the exception of the bottom right corner which is over exposed losing detail in the coat hood.

Looking for some C+C, so a couple of questions, firstly do you think I could get away with leaving this how it is? If not anyone got any tips on increasing exposure of an image with a gradient so that I could avoid the above.

Also any other C+C/advise appreciated.

Thanks. :)

Get the burn tool onto the blown area to darken it a bit:thumbs:

you can apply exposure gradients in photoshop
not qualified to write a tutorial but it's common practise for landscapes, no reason you can't apply the process to this photo

Great photo! Off topic, you a Gixer rider? I used to ride (Ninja then GSXR600) until I got dragged down the A4 trapped under a car's bumper - decided to give up after that! Had some great times down at Boxhill and still have loads of onbike video footage!

Happy days.

Thanks and yeah a GSXR600 K2, although only gets used as a daily commuter now, I ride it so much for work that when the weekend comes I just want to leave it in the garage.

I've never tried this, and don't know how to, but would a slight vignette help deal with the corner .. ??

It's a lovely image.
