Lonely

[Luke_]

Took quite a few shots today, first one I have processed:

C+C very welcome

Without seeing the base of the tree, and its location, it doesn't scream 'Lonely' to me. :shrug:

The bright background in the centre of the tree is too bright and a bit distracting compared to the rest of the background.

Sorry. :shrug:

...yes, you somehow feel the need to see the bottom of the trunk.

Shame. This is almost very good!

Is that because of the name? Or because of the picture?

No, no, the picture. I really feel it is cropped too short on the bottom.

I wonder if a dark border would solve this....?

Luke, can you not post at 800px longest side. Makes it so much easier to appreciate properly.

Yea, I cannot work out how to add a black border in PS though

Still reading up on post processing.

Do you mean this sort of size?

Yup, thats it. I actually really like this image Luke, despite the reservations that I mentioned earlier.

Border:

Select - All
Edit - Stroke

Then in pop up box

Width - 60px (for example - you will have to experiment)
Colour - Black
Location - Inside
Blending -Normal
Opacity - 100%

I actually use The Gimp to create my borders, where the technique is different.
