Suggestion "Pimp my Photo" suggestion.

**jpzk** · 09-11-2011, 07:42 PM

Let's face it: I'm no good at Photoshop except for a few basic things.

Unless I have a highly descriptive flow through lesson, with text and images, I usually don't do very well at trying to enhance my "would be keeper" photos.
For instance, I have a few shots of a Northern Harrier, taken this past weekend, where the background is very close to the bird's colours. I need to "enhance the bird, or alter the background, so that it is more visible.
I tried many things, to no avail.

It would be nice to have a section where one could submit a picture for "pimping", just at least to make it look better.

If we have such a section, I haven't found it.
Just asking.

Cheers.

Go ahead and post it in PYP. People seem to be really sensitive about editing others work and that's why we don't have a dedicated section.

You mean: post your photo in the PYP thread or post a new thread?

Adam, I would like to point out that if one requests other members to process/change/alter or "pimp" a photo, wouldn't that imply acceptance from the submitting person? As long as it is all in good taste ...
