DSLR Photography Forum

I kinda like this one - I think the subject is interesting. Any suggestions on how to improve this photo?

Hmm he doesn't look like a Linux user to me...

The colors are a little subdued, could use warming up a little. I'd also be tempted to crop down to the top of the slope.... oh, and get him to switch to Windoze.

Her's my take....

THat was kinda what I had in mind, Great minds and all that

My attempt, emphasizing the title. Also I think having a bit of the fence on top helps keep the eye from wandering off the page.

Hey when did you add image upload to the forum? Never noticed before.

Here's another way to help the subject stand out from the background.

Thanks everyone! Some creative cropping doews the trick eh? I like the filter suggestiion too, rik!

By the way welcome to Shuttertalk!

I like Slej's selective coloring, though for me I would still lose the fence.

Okay, you've changed my mind - the fence must go!

As long as the kid's face ends up at the intersection of thirds...

rosy cheeks remind me of the vegemite commercials.,..

I like a little sharpening and a little more brittle, contrasty presentation.
