Titus213 Cream of the Crop  More info | Apr 28, 2005 20:11 | #1 During our recent trip to Lilac House I ran across this wisteria. It has been Photoshopped. I am starting to enjoy playing with Photoshop almost as much as shooting pictures. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Always looking to improve... Dave

Perhaps there is not enough contrast between the subject and the background? Or there is too much green (subject and border)?

Apr 29, 2005 00:54 | #4 Thanks for the suggestions. The more I look at this the more I see what you mean. I've tried B&W and didn't like it at all. Here is a compromise that I like better than the original. Dave

Kerbouchard Member 41 posts Joined Mar 2005 More info | It finally hit me -- there is more contrast in the background than there is in the rest of the image, which is why my eyes can't rest on the subject. Can you PS that a bit?

In both there is a nice use of DOF control, but the lack of color difference in the second makes the subject a little less conspicuous. Pics like this should be required viewing for newbies that think you can't take a decent pic with the kit lens. I'm not sure you recreate this shot with any other lens. Nice job.
