Dale_Cotton2: Great words, thanks for helping out!!! My camera has a little exposure meter... like 0 to +/- 2 in increments of .35.. I would've toyed around with it for the original picture, but this shot was taken about a year before I even considered getting into photography. I went through an old album from a trip to Germany and decided I liked it. (the city and mountains were from the same album taken more than a year ago... I got lucky that the compo was okay without me even thinking about or knowing what compo is).
k bennett: Yeah I've been lurking in this forum for some time, I've been looking at other people's work as much as possible and the critiques given to them. This is something which has definitely inspired me, and driven me to constantly strive to improve!
mike.online: HAHA I know exactly what you're saying. The only pic I've edited
at all is the waterfall. I don't really know how to use the photobucket editor that well, and when I checked this thread after the posting for the first time, I realized... WAY too green 8( Rework:
And you wanted purple for whatever reason...?:
situgrrl: The second pic was just a result of screwing around. This was the original:
This was the grayscale:
The shot in my original post was were I ended... which is the best...?
My thinking was: Because the color of the original shot wasn't reeeally that thrilling AND it wasn't sunny, I'd try it in greyscale...is that logical or not....?
As for pic three-- I really don't like it. Some one else told me it was interesting and I just wanted to get an idea of what other people thought of it.
Pic four-- Yes I see how it one can say there is a lack of emotion. Honestly
it's just a plant, I personally like it because of the texture and position...that's good enough for me.
Chris_T: That's the exact reason why I moved my beginner issues from a fish tank forum to a place that contains generous and experienced people like yourself. I am eager to learn from all of you!!!!!!
P.S. Make sure you do ctrl+refresh before looking at the pics... the waterfall was changed....Elby
