Hi all

A quick portrait of the missus from the charles bridge in Prague.

Please let me know what you think or how you would improve the image from a post processing point of view.

I would definitively crop it. At the moment, there is way too much background taking away the focus from the girl, making it look more like a snapshot.

Agree with Fante, and in addition... Dude, level your image! All the water from the Vltava River is running out of my monitor and onto my carpet!!! :p

Edited to add:

Deleted image - couldn't get the skin tones right. I'll try again later.

Much, much better :)

You could possibly try to add some more contrast to the background (dunno if it will work).

fante

here is the latest update with your recommendation to increase the backround contrast.
I think it slightly enhances it alright.

Thanks
