Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I like this photo, but I know it can be better with some editing (and some more skill/experience SOOTC). Thoughts?

Editing isn't going to make this an amazing shot. You found something that is fun and unusual but you need to figure out a way to make it interesting. Change up your angles......think outside the box!!
 
Frog! How do I improve this?
I would start with an egg bath and then drop it in flour. Having already sauteed green onions and garlic, add a little more olive oil and increase temperature to ~375°. This should be a quick fry because much like prawns, you do not want to overcook by making the legs rubbery. While they are frying, I would add a few dashes of chillie pepper, if you want a bit of a kick. Once they are cooked and you have the baked sweet potato with cinnamon and nutmeg and the cole slaw (with shredded carrots) already plated, add a little hot sauce to the legs.... I prefer Texas Pete, but any sauce you like is okay.
 
Unless you shot raw I don't think you'll be able to recover from the overexposure of the rocks. They are way blown out! Try to get your photos right in camera and use editing for minor improvements.

I agree that the frog should take up more of the frame if he is the subject you're trying to show off.

Keep shooting! =)
 
Thanks for the feedback.

I did shoot in RAW as well as JPG. Still learning all the editing though.

Here is another on that may be a little more interesting.

This one looks far better but the frog looks OOF. Is that just me? Camera shake?
