One of my better K100D shots!

One of my better K100D shots! · 02:57 PM

Here's one of my better, to date, shots with my K100D. Tell me what you think.

Take Care!

Hi Greg,

I think a simple black border around the beveled 'frame' will be nice. If you want to try something without the beveled frame two a thin white "mat" around the photograph followed by a thicker black mat around that might work.

... when the image began to open, first my emotions were - I see an advertising product, but then... fragments of two superfluous subjects...

The best regards!

Pretty! It's a neat still-life. The two watch faces are a bit dissimilar though. (The main face and the ring match, but the third is odd one out.)

I don't think you really need a frame and a watermark. (I'm not a huge fan of watermarks in general.)

Beautiful!

If you don't mind me asking, what steps (besides the frame) did you do for post processing? Very impressive results!

Thanks Guys, and Ladies, for your responses. I'll try the white and black frames sometime this weekend.

Andrew, I'm useing PhotoShop Elements 5 and I used the crop feature and Auto Smart Fix Adjusted at 8. I applied a photo filter layer, but never got what I thought looked as good as the orginial so I removed it. I took 16 shots of this, going around the table catching all angles of the light and this was the one that was the best. Thanks for your kind words.
