OK, here goes. I have read lots of comments from people regarding others photographs, most are very helpful, some are not worth even reading. What I am trying to start here is for people who are not going to be hurt by helpful criticism as long as it is designed to be constructive. What I would like is people to comment on other peoples photographs with regards to how they would post-process the picture given. The idea behind this thread is to spread some of the vast knowledge out there to everyone. It is up to the individual as to how they want to process the picture. To be honest, I am not sure how this is going to work in reality as some people may be a bit funny about posting print quality pictures. Would it be an option that if someone would like to post-process a picture that has been inserted in the thread, they mail the user to ask for that picture (while the one posted on this thread is your normal low quality jpg) in RAW or TIFF form. The photographer would then decide if that person can be trusted not to use or claim the photograph as their own. This means that if the photographer refuses to send a photo it should not be taken the wrong way. I think most of us know who we could trust just by checking out the profiles and the photographs in their galleries. Sorry this is such a long post but maybe this could be the start of some really helpful dialogue
Anyhoo, here is my picture. It is one of my favourite pictures I have taken. You can see my post-processing effort in my galleries. However for my birthday my fiancé redid the picture and completely improved it. I am therefore looking for other techniques I can use and we can share on this picture. Thanks in advance
