Candle, p'shop before and after

[GeorgeUK]

Simple image I took this weekend just in the living room.

Original...

With a touch of p'shopping - cropping/contrast.

A touch more p'shopping - cropping/contrast/sharpness

Any advice/criticism/opinions much appreciated.

That's quite a cool effect! Thanks.

Here's photo 3 with a border, makes it look a little better I think.

Ahh God no I hate people who post photos with borders around. Very dull, clunky and distracting away from the photo. It's a webpage not a living room wall. No offence to you personally George, I just think borders on the web are annoying.

Nice PS skills, makes a slight difference and really works

i disagree, i think some times the right size border can really add to the image. I dont think its distracting at all. thats just my opinion though

I understand where you're coming from and I have to admit I was dubious of it as well, however seeing some of the photos on here has made me change my mind. It works better on some photos than other. No offence taken at all

The second PS version (third photo shown - later also as a framed version) actually is the best. Well done. Nice motif. You now have a Christmas card for next year! You can make your own cards and send them out early!

And it is a pity to hear that pm63 hates me. He does not even know me. Nor do I know HIM (her?). It is a pity pm63 hates the persons who put frames round their finished works for web presentation and not just the fact that they have decided to do so... And hates them even, which is a pretty strong sentiment! Ah well........

I wouldn't take it personally
