Hi,
Thanks for all the comments.
Thank you Jack for the edit. It seems your edit is better than my shot.
I must say I am a little disappointed in you people, nobody told me it is a crappy shot and I have to go back and do it again. So I told myself and I did it again.
If this one is crappy I don’t know what more can I do. Same Rose – 24 hours later.
Same camera, different settings.
1/160sec
F6.3
Program Auto
ISO 200
Centre Weight Metering
Saturation: High
Sharpness: Hard
Focal Length: 62mm
This time I cheated: Sprayed water and cloned out the “bite” in the leaf.
For this shot I used a tripod to get it sharper, changed my point of view to get a better background. In the Menu I set Colour to More Vivid.
I do not have a calibrated screen. I “calibrated” one of my screens to my camera. Sometimes I look at images on three different screens, two at work and one at home. What worries me is that it seems to me whatever some of you see on your screen is different to what I see on my screen. Most of you recon my images are too dark. Looking at Jack’s edit it seems a lot of noise has been introduced to the image. The edit is not much lighter than the original post, though the dark areas from the original image are brighter.
Is this one still too dark? Hope it is better than the first one.
Thank you again for spending time to look and comment, it is always much appreciated.
