Hope you don't mind.... I played with your picture... super cute girl btw.....
I played with contrast on the fence and curves, than did a fill flash on her in PSP, added catchlights in her eyes, turned BW with orange filter, then last turned sepia....and crop
Thanks for all the replies! And no, I don't mind you trying a few things at all Chow. I like what you did - except doesn't it bug you with the window almost right in the middle? I tried a crop that was close to that, but for some reason that window can't be in the middle for me.
The plants cloned out makes a big difference, I really like that! I think I'll have to go back in and do that to the original.
Frog, I did not shoot in RAW. I know, I know... I did for a while, but I never had time to do anything with the pictures and they just seemed to be taking up a lot of space... I should start shooting in RAW again now that I have more time.
Feel free to edit and repost my photos as part of your critique.
No, I am a very symmetrical person and I tend to break the rule of thirds alot.... I like things centered.... and I think in this case, since she is off to the side, it worked for me. I think showing more of the fence added more of a desolate feeling rather than just one playing by a fence.....
