The world is already too filled with junk images and photographs, and posting crap without at least trying to make the results good, or asking for help, or at least acknowledging that one's skills weren't up to the task (which is, perhaps, tantamount to asking for suggestions), does the poster and the community here, as well as other viewers, a disservice. > (snip)
Those are also my views, but I hadn't assumed your motivation was the same as mine. However I still think that the tonal quality of this shot is below par except for that one puzzling part of the composition - the man on the right who isn't even the nominal subject. He alone is expertly rendered. Also, you didn't admit any shortcomings with the picture when first posted. I could only assume that it was either the best you could do or wanted to do, or that altruism prevented you from "photoshopping" it, or that this was an un-optimized work print that was presented without a disclaimer. regards, Anthony Farr
