Wicker hitchhicker

[hminx]

Not sure what to do with this one as I think the arm blends a bit much into the tree behind, appreciate any suggestions

For some reason colour now seems a bit flat after posting

Agreed, my major problem with this is that the hitchhiker's hand isn't clearly visible due to the trees in the background. A car driving by could also help to add some action to the shot. Still, quite a unique scene and well spotted!

maybe clone the trees and power lines out. the content aware healing brush in cs5 would come in handy there. maybe you could insert a sign...give it a little humor.

Thanks Herrlot. and thecounsel appreciate the feedback .
cs5 is a long way down the track for me but thought I'd try another angle and a bit more processing to try and bring this guy out a bit.
It is actually quite hard to see due to colour and back round, drove right past without seeing it the first time

If a re-shoot is an option, I think either a time exposure (especially with traffic), or a well placed strobe would really pay off.

[Wolfy]

Yeah. I say put a wide angle lens on and fill the camera with the hitchiker. That'll give him dominance in the image. As it is, he doesn't stand out well from the background.

Changing colors to look good in your browser is not a good idea because others who will see your images are using different browsers. The colors you see in your photo editing program are the true colors that you should stick to. When it comes to browsers you should use FireFox or Safari, they offer true color.
