- Comment It seems quite underexposed... JJ Harrison (talk) 08:42, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- The colours does seem a tad washed out, and not as vibrant as it could be. Also, it doesn't look straight to me (Slight clockwise rotation needed?). Can you provide an alternative edit with these fixes? SMasters (talk) 01:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Comment Agree, I guess the light conditions were not ideal, hence part of the subject is in the shadows. Could you improve it by propping up the shadow areas? Maybe playing with the curves could also help. Otherwise, great composition and razor-sharp. Would support if exposure is corrected. --Murdockcrc (talk) 19:04, 30 March 2011 (UTC).
- To be honest, I simply found the pic. I have no real experience in actual editing like "propping up the shadow areas". Nergaal (talk) 04:17, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Alternative 2
Tried some post-processing to increase exposure on dark areas. Let me know what you think.--Murdockcrc (talk) 08:35, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- Looks really nice to me, and much more eye catching with those bright colors. Nergaal (talk) 22:19, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
