I took this picture before even knowing that the term "composition" existed. I read a bunch of articles by DigitalCameraWorld and hopefully next week I'll have something better for you guys to critique. Right now I have an issue with day pictures. I have a point and shoot <---Fujifilm FinePix F850EXR 16MP. When looking at trees and such in the desert, the colors tend to blend all over. I have been playing around with gimp, and was hoping for some advice. I wanted to spruce up the image.
Here all my edits were to draw focus on the tree and the pic in the lower right corner. I used Gaussion Blur to the rest of the phot as everything seemed to really blend together, this blocks those out.
Brightness: -15
Contrast: +25
Color Balance: Midtone: +15 towardgreen Green on whole photo.Color Balance: Midtone: +25 towardgreen Green on the smaller picture lower right.
Edited on top, and original on bottom.


I'd like some help with what I should edit in photos like this.
