[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 186288, member: 6277"] Something I learned a long time ago before digital and PhotoShop was to look at the scene and not just as the subject. I took a absolutely wonderful photo of what was then my young bride. The scene was beautiful, I had her sitting on a rock jutting out over a cliff with a valley and another hill in the distance. I was so proud of the shot. I got home and developed the film and heated up the chemistry to print the photo IN COLOR. I got the print done and the composition was perfect. The color was perfect. The lighting was perfect. My vision was transformed to paper perfectly. Or at least I though it was. After looking at the print for an hour I noticed a cigarette butt at my wife's feet. From that point on that was all I could see in that photo. I PhotoShop it would take me just a minute with content aware healing brush to remove it but in the olden days it was almost impossible with the knowledge and equipment I had. Now we have the technology to remove all sorts of things. As the people who follow my photos knows I love to shoot at the zoo. You see fences, buildings and all sorts of things in the shots. [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/6/2/7/7/before_after.jpg[/IMG] In this shot I took what I had and looked at it critically and made it into what I thought it should be. To me I took an interesting shot to two birds in the same pose and made it into a great picture. I think now that Post Processing is almost as important as the original shot. [/QUOTE]
