I was undecided where to post this shot, as I would like advice with the photography (well, basically the crop I have used, and the bits of shot I included).
Anyway, this was shot during the summer on a day out with the family to Blackpool.
I was buggering about, trying out the 'shoot from the hip', amongst other things.
After a trial download of Rawshooter Premium last night I decided to have a tinker with some of them, and this was the result.
It was the old couple that I was shooting, but in your eyes what do you think makes the photo (if at all), what crop would you apply? In the above version I went for the couple, the pier in the background with the big wheel, and the railings being a leading line....
Anyway, the photography aside, the main question I'm unsure of is the post processing. I've royally buggered it up (I'm not one to mince my words ).
To me it just doesnt look right, yet no amount of fiddling along the way could I figure out exactly what was wrong with it.
Also, the wheel in the background doesn't look right either. It looks as though I've shrunk it down to 10pixels and enlarged it again...lol
Anyway, please feel free to launch into a tirade of abusive comments about my skills (or lack of), and offer any insight into where I've gone wrong, where I can improve on it (if I can, that is).
Here is what the original looked like....resized to 700px (to show here).
Here's a link to a bigger (2000px) size (700k ish) jpeg, if anyone feels like having a tinker to show me a better crop etc.
