Ever take a shot you really want to come out good and it didn't ... this is one of many I've taken that didn't. But I worked with it as best I could hoping it was saveable. Did I save it or is it a dumper?

    Mary, maybe the black is taking too much real estate?

    It has interest to me even with the blur (not everything has to be sharp... mwink.gif)

    Maybe we have to re-characterize... It's closer to glow... not blur (How am I doing?)

    I see what your saying about the black. There was background lights/branches from the park behind them showing up so I took them out. Understand you ... closer to glow and not blur :D I didn't want to use any blur on this, but the lady with her legs up .. she has a big strange shadow on her face. You can still see it, but with the blurring it helped minimize it somewhat.

    Just happened to be driving by and I saw this and snapped a few shots very quickly. My settings weren't set right, noise was a major issue. With an opportunity like this I should of just stopped and got out of the car. Another lesson learned :D

    I can easily see the appeal that drew you in and why you would want to work hard on keeping it a keeper.

    Ashly Brilliant comes to mind here. "I don't have a solution, but I certainly admire the problem" :D
    Couldn't help it bowdown.gif I do think your going to find a solution that will suite you. Your already on your way.

    Was wondering if you handheld the shot :D Now I get it. You work shots I have never really dared take.
    Maybe women don't mind a woman taking their picture at night headscratch.gif Do ya think?

    This photo just frustrated the heck out of me till I read your comment .. you had me smiling and chuckling .. thank you :D

    I one-handed hand shot this in a moving car :cry All the 'good it could of been' I disregarded and just grabbed a few thinking I would get one I could easily work on. How sadly I was mistaken. I should print this out and hang it on my wall to remind me of the 'don't do' and 'should do' in photography.

    I'll come up with something. Will start from scratch again. Sometimes it's best to just let a photo sit for awhile and return to it. I'm not giving up yet :D

    Good Afternoon MK,
    I like the shot. Can you zoom in on the original, and Ortonize the girls ? It's definitely a keeper thumb.gif There's something about it that grabs your attention. Talk to ya soon.
    Enjoy your afternoon :D

    I'll see what zooming does when I rework it. I did zoom in a tad, but was using the 40D so the zooming ability isn't like the 5DMKii. Doesn't help it didn't start out good :cry
