1 Feb 22 Reply It's always best to get the exposure correct in camera but the adjustment in editing can help. If you have a predominately white scene, adjust the exposure to increase exposure. If it is a dark subject, you might need to adjust it the other direction to keep the blacks black. Feb 19th
1 Feb 22 Reply Something that I do quite often is check the histogram in Levels. It seems like a lot of times there isn't anything on the right side and easy to correct by moving the slider to the left.

1 Feb 22 Reply I was thinking that maybe just a second before or after this one, you might have had more tree behind the subject. Good time to try a burst of a few shots in passing. Feb 14th
1 Feb 22 Comment I think that it is great the way it is. You might try increasing the vibrancy a little to see if you like it with brighter colors. You were positioned perfectly to make a splendid image. Feb 14th
1 Feb 22 Comment I really like the patterns in the snow and the tree, even though it is dark enough where you don't notice any detail, provides a place for the eye to stop. The curves in the snow patterns leads your right toward the tree. I would try lightening the image and crop off the bottom and some on the left.

With all this white snow, it is easy for the camera's meter to get thrown off.		 Feb 14th
1 Feb 22 Comment I haven't tried smoke with different backgrounds other than black. You do have a lot more mist here than I get by burning incense. There is actually a lot of color in incense that can be brought out by increasing the saturation. That might not work with mist from a humidifier. Something else you could try is to invert the color. At least it does work as something different with actual smoke. Feb 14th
1 Feb 22 Comment I think it looks like a great casual portrait of your subjects. Just a little cropping to just above the cap on the fellow on the left would help remove some of the distraction of the bright sky. Feb 14th
1 Feb 22 Comment The subject is in a good position in the frame. I do agree that a little boosting of the saturation would help. I am assuming that you were in a moving boat. You might have been able to get a background with less of the might sky showing through the vegetation. Feb 14th
1 Feb 22 Comment It probably isn't the best place to keep a typewriter. It does look a little worse for wear. Depending on the background, I might agree with showing more at the top and maybe even removing some of the bark that is hiding the keys. I do like the subject and the way you handled it. Feb 14th
1 Feb 22 Reply Thank you. This came in a set with what could be considered a lens ball as well as a pyramid and a prism. It has been fun playing with them.
