Welcome to EPZ David.


I like this style, however this will work a lot better when the image is level, rather than tilted. Its an impression of boats in a harbour thats quite nice, minimalistic, and could make a very nice print.


If you take a look at the mod Ive loaded under the modifications tab up the page, the mod is level, colour an vibrancy is increased, the height is stretched a little, and a small amount of sharpening and contrast has been applied.
A good start to image manipulation.


Hope this helps, and enjoy the site.

heres some information for new members:

Please load you exif data, or shot settings. We need aperture, speed, iso, lens, focal length, and camera model. If you domt know how to get this, just lets us know and we may be able to help. This allows us to provide the best possible feedback.

There are features in this gallery you may want to use: Theres a "Like" icon beside a comment; and theres the small "Nominate for Constructive Critique" link at the bottom of every comment. The Critique Team approves or denies submissions for constructive Critiques, and members can accrue points. Critique Team members cannot approve comments on their own feedback. When you provide constructive feedback, you can also start collecting points, which can mean you are improving to the point where you can see how to improve other members shots. To qualify as Constructive, the feedback has to improve you image, your skill, your knowledge of the photographic process, or post processing. Comments like nice shot, love the scenery, etc dont qualify.


Re sizing images:

Resize image: Image>Image size> set pixels per inch to 72; then set the longest side to what the site allows; then during the save as process, you will adjust the quality slider to get the right file size, then save.

Next: OPen the new image. Check for sharpness at 100%. It will very likely need to be sharpened. You can use whatever method you prefer; here is a reliable method you can use:

Filter>sharpen>unsharp mask; set Radius = 0.8; set threshold = 3; now slide the Amount slider all the way to the right, which oversharpens the shot; then slide it slowly back to the left until it doesnt look soft, and doesnt look too sharp. You can view your image and turn Preview on and off to see how youre doing. When your happy, press OK, then SAVE. Now upload.
