blown to shreds

Good chance this will be joining some of Rod's picys in Pending. I'm not sure what I think of it just yet.

Canon PowerShot A710IS
1/100s f/4.8 at 34.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks tv. I have brightened it up a tad.

I actually like this for its casually spontaneous look but I would have been strongly tempted to darken and shift levels to bring out the colors. See in pending what I mean. -tv

I did wait for the wind change Maurice, the other side is much worse. But I agree, it's not quite right. (maybe that's what I like about it, it's just not quite right & that's ok with me)

Its a good idea, the background is a bit distracting though!
You could wait until the wind changes direction :)

I take that back, I do know how to transfer the pics, and have. Thanks for the make-over Rod. You should think about taking-up photography. Hehe.

I wouldn't know how to switch them, but thanks for the offer. Just for the offer, half the prize riches shall be yours.

You can use this version if like Tom on the understanding you share all the prize money wiv me:-)

That looks great Rod! My camera doesn't have color profile options (as far as sRGB, that I know of). Also, I use IPhoto '08 for the limited processing it allows, so I don't understand masks, curves, points, etc. Guess someday I'll have to give in to PhotoShop (maybe not, I can muck things up just fine without).

Rod, This is actually the whole shot. It's across the way in a neighbor's backyard, so my little A710 is zoomed out to max. That's why it's unclear. Funny, the unclarity is what I like most.
Keep those comments commin'. It's lonely in this gallery! What's with that? I know there are better ideas/picys than mine out there, not to mention cameras. (I do love my P&S though)

I think you should leave it here Tom we don't want to lower the standard in Pending:-)
This could work really well but it looks like a small crop from a bigger image & nothing looks very clear. Can you have another go at this shot?
