[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 258918, member: 6277"] One of the best shots of my early days with Film and a darkroom was a photo of my wife sitting on a ledge on a cliff. Waterfall in the valley below and a perfect day. I was so excited to get home and develop the color film and make the color print at home. 34 years ago this was not easy and it was not cheap. The exposure was perfect, the print was perfect and I was so excited. I hung the print up to dry and left the room. Went back later to get the print and show it to my wife. The first thing she said was that would be really great if it were not for the cigarette butt on the ground in from of my feet. There was no Photoshopping it out of there and no real way for me to remove it. That one thing taught me to look at the entire shot and not just the subject. I still get that "Cigarette butt" in a shot now but I still try very hard not to. Same goes for the tree growing out of someone's head or that pile of snow. [/QUOTE]
