Title: Rainbows everywhere
Post by: DrDebi on February 03, 2011, 07:09:25 PM
Here's a photo I recently took when the sun decided to shine through my window and through our chandelier. It feels like it's missing something. I added the feathering to try and give it a little something, but that's all I've done to the shot.
Any suggestions?

First of all welcome to the site. You will love it and you can learn a lot.
Not real big on the current white vignetting on the image you posted. I would have preferred a darker vignette toward the blace. However however it is your snap and what ever hikes your skirt..... :P  :)

Hope to view more of your images..

Thank you. Perhaps instead of trying to make it better I should've just left it alone...
In retrospect, I think this is better after all.

Thanx for your insight. .:)
I LOVE the horse. Is it one of your images?

;) I think this is much better. When you start playing around with a image, make sure you use copy of the orginial before you start playing....  ::)

I find the doorway with the bright light showing plus the plaque on the wall very distracting.  You might want to remove them in PS.  If you block them out with your fingers, you can see how much more celestial the image becomes.
