PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | Aug 22, 2013 07:55 | #4 You focused on the knob to direct our attention there, but the huge blown area at the right pulls my eye away from the knob. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

I don't get moody at all and wondered why would you focus in on a ordinary numbered knob when there are so many other elements that look interesting.

sirquack Goldmember  More info | Aug 23, 2013 11:15 | #8 Now the question Mojo... Can you rip on that beast? I should probably shoot more of the random instruments around my house. My son plays acoustic, electric and bass guitars. He is working on drums and played trumpet in high school. So I have a collection to work with. Not to mention all of the various amps and other miscellaneous music gear that comes with the previously mentioned. Name is Ron.

cuda2k Senior Member  More info | Aug 26, 2013 09:20 | #9 Clone out the white blob at the top left, gradient filter from the lower right to reduce the blown-out feel to that side of the photo (or maybe play with some post-crop vignette settings to achieve the same and refocus the eye more center-photo where the focus is?)

I did not have much luck getting rid of the spot, so I just cropped it out. I don't quite get the gradient filter... am still trying to learn PS  I used shadow and highlight to try to bring in more detail in the washed out area. M. Kevin M.
