    Does this really need a title?

    Tell me what you think, was a great day out today, so we went to the park to study. I shot instead, haha.

    Re: Does this really need a title?

    Personally, this image has several major flaws. But it does have some potential as a great photograph, after appropiate adjustements in PP.

    What struck me right off is the very distracting background. Especially the metal cars, which appear to be more in-focus than I'd like.

    The subjects are OK, crisp. But the background in my opinion doesn't help much. A great photograph/subjects... let down by a poor background. You could however, try carefully selecting around the figures and paste into a better background.

    My second major gripe is the girl's "chopped" off foot. Again, not completely unrepairable, tedious cloning and adding a new portion to the image might work.

    Try cloning out the white (bag...?) near the lower-right corner.

    Also, the colours look a touch oversaturated. Perhaps this was done intentionally? Not bad, though.

    Alex said everything I would say.
    Nice catch of the moment but photgraphically has the flaws listed.

    Thanks for the comments. Sadly the foot problem is because I framed it poorly. I'll try again with the original, and will post what else I get.

    Cropped this. I like it more.

    I like the crop, also agree with what's been already said. one thing that bugs me is the cars. cars usually kill natural shots, i try to avoid them like the plague. nice one.
