Here is one of the shots I liked while taking some photos along a wood path with my friend Lindsay. Tell me what you think.

I didn't think it was that bad. But oh, the silence says it all.

Ashley, don't ever take it personally or feel that any silence is tacit criticism. I find that the "new stuff" button often skips posts, and I have missed lots of threads that I eventually found later (like this one). And most folks around here aren't shy about posting what could be improved with a photo. If it's ignored, it prolly just fell through the cracks.

I like this shot, it has a nice feel to it. The only thing that bugged me was that her left hand kind of disappears . Other than that I found myself looking around the scene a bit - nice looking girl, cool forest, what's that she's standing on, what's it doing there... When I find myself wandering around a shot like that for a few moments then I think the photographer has done a good job capturing the moment.

I think it is a cool shot as well. In addition to the hand, the extremely over exposed sky is just a little much too. Wonder if the burn tool could help at all?

Oh, you mistake me. I was filled with sarcasm and also filled with the urge that whatever I did to get my picture to the front page again I was not going to use the word 'bump'.
Thanks for your comments. I too, am annoyed by the hand but it was naturally like that. I don't know if I have another hand that I can clone in or not and I will play with it more to get a better sky.

P.S.- I also ran it through in ambience filter to get the green bright. Do you like the orginal more or not?

I like the altered version better, more abstract!

Ashley,
I agree with Jim. I like this version way better Of course, you need to take this with a grain of salt. Since I have very little creative/artistic talent, I usually don't like shots that overdo blur or glow. The second one looks "more real" to me. I'd even suggest pumping up the color a bit. Also, the background and the top of her head look better to me in this version :-)

I like the 2nd post much better.. the first one appears quite "fuzzy" on my monitor. Interesting pose. Very artsy
