- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Fair enough. Though I wasn't going after vivid colors here, but rather a washed out nostalgic feeling, I can understand your points. I don't mind the reflection being blown out a bit - it feels more real to me, those bright winter afternoons when the sun can blind you a little bit.
I like this picture a lot. It definitely has that nostalgic/sentimental feeling. I have lots of these types of pictures--ones that mean much more to the photographer and his family than to a casual observer.
And, I definitely agree with the reflection. It feels more real.
Thanks, waday. I'm glad someone else is getting the feeling I was going for.
Just to clarify, I don't have any sentimental attachment to the actual place in the picture. The little hut is not mine and it's not even a place that I go very often. But l was definitely going for a certain sentimentality for the image and I was very pleased that it turned out the way I imagined it. I did a bit of tweaking and actually pulled back from some edits that looked okay but were starting to make the image too manipulated, and thus, too manipulative.
