Totally forgot about this, there is nothing fishy in this image :D :D, sorry for trolling.

The below image however is a botched one I captured this Friday last, and still in the process of trying to save.

This was shot moments before leaving the bride's-to-be residence, and was the last squirt she could afford before smelling like a chemical accident at the lynx factory (sic: Inbetweeners Movie).

Anyhoo, here are some of the issues.

1) The absolutely most obvious, the angle of the image is not very courteous to the subject. Also, despite corner-pinning, left frame on the wall is mega-wonky.
2) For some freak reason, the flash's refracting plastic thingy was over the bulb, thus creating a linear pattern all over the image. I have somewhat restricted its eye-catching obviousness by duplicating the image and budging it 5-6 pixels. Then I masked over the areas I wanted in focus such as the face, hand and sprinkles. Work in progress.
3) Flash placement was not that great either as it created a streak across her throat. I have clone stamped the heck of it, but still needs some work. Also, light outline is restricted to the left side of the subject.

Feel free to knitpick on this image or to offer any suggestions on how to save the bride's request of an image :(


I still think it's a lovely photo, and I'm sure the bride will be happy.

I suggest you submit this shot to Critics Corner (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/critics-corner.2118422/) for a more in depth discussion ;)

Cheers :)

Hugh

The below image has been submitted to critic's corner following @Hughmac 's suggestion.


Dang! You got me on the umbrella/bench photo... I was wondering about this yesterday. I’m glad you didn’t leave us hanging!
As for today’s submission, obviously I’m no expert in the subject, but this doesn’t restrict me from perceiving something to be beautiful - and it absolutely is.

New additions to the family. Margie and Suzy (sisters) with Zeb photo bombing. Finn was sleeping. I hate following Joe King.

Congrats on the new additions! Good looking pups! Sometimes I miss the puppy days, but then I remember everything that was destroyed...
I’ll follow suit for today’s submission - this is my old girl Macy. She turns 8 this year. Loves her frisbee, but loves water much more!:rolleyes:

Can you explain what we're seeing? I have a vision of a houseowner refusing to leave, where everything around him is already demolished. (have you seen the image where a chinese couple refuses to leave their house that is in the middle of a new highway?)

That also happened on the M62 in the Uk. A farmer refused to move so they built the motorway around him, leaving him about 30metres either side of his house. Its quite weird driving past it.
