Re: PESO - dodge ball tournament
Hi! The arm in the foreground obscures too much of the people in the background for the picture to be 100% successful, otherwise it is very good. I agree with Shel about the black background and blue text. I think you should spell consistently (and correctly) too (avocado, no avacado) What Bob said...

On 9/7/06, William Robb, discombobulated, unleashed: If you really honestly want to know what others think of your pictures, don't turn it into a debating contest when someone posts something you disagree with, or don't like. When you post a picture and ask what people think of it, the honest thing to do is sit back, read what they have to say, and thank them for saying it, whether you like it or not.

The arm doesn't bother me in the least. Listen to what others suggest but march to your own drummer. You'll drive yourself nuts trying to satisfy every, or even just a few, of the suggestions you'll get here. thanks. i usually don't care much for what others think, but in the case of this list, my desire is to seek out the opinions of others who know much more than I do so that I can become better myself. You can't please everyone so you might as well please yourself - or, if you have clients for your photos, them. I hope I never have clients :) but that's just me thanks all for you input(s) russell -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

What are you trying to say with it? ]'-) The question is whether there is something in the photograph that can be expressed to your satisfaction. If so, then it's not 'crap', it's a photograph that you worked on *for a reason*. If not, then you can call it whatever you like. The fact that you spent a good bit of time 'messing about with it' indicates that you feel it isn't crap and that there's something in it that is appealing to you. I would suggest that you stop messing about with it, study it for a while, and decide what you want to get out of it. Then go back into whatever editing software you use and see if you can get it in a more directed, intent driven fashion... After that, you can decide whether it's crap or not. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: PESO - dodge ball tournament
Hello Russell, I think the real issue for me is that arm right up front, getting in the way of some of the picture. If you can do something about that, it might be worth working on. To just leave it there, I think weakens the picture too much. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, July 8, 2006, 7:06:08 AM, you wrote: RK this photo I cannot decide if I like or not RK I have spent a lot of time with Picasa messing with it, and have never RK been satisfied with what I came up with.
