Photo for a friend

I know I know...she put up another one. :(

This photo is going to a friend and up on her wall. She's been asking for it for a while. I just want to make sure I've got what I can do for it done. I can't see anything right now. I can't change the positioning of the photo or go back and take another - but anything else I'm all ears..thank you.

I think you should change the position of the light:)

Of course I'm kidding....I would only maybe try and dodge the blackish cloud above the lamp as it comes off like some weird shadow to me, other than that it' good. You could clip the light out, carefully clone in some cloud then paste the lamp back in and arrange it how you like but it would be a bit of work. I could give it a shot if you like.

I'm with you on the black cloud up top of the light..I was looking at it too. I'm not gonna do the clipping..a) I can't but more for the reason that she likes it for what it is..lol. Personnally, I wish I could go back and shoot again. I'd definatly change my position to make it more..lined. Boo to me for not even looking. Boy do you learn as you go though!

Although if you want to give it a shot..then it would be right! Up to you..if you have time :)

I'd love to give it a shot, keeps me in shape:) Can you hook me up with the full image?


Then again no worries, If you're friend isn't going to get It I'll just poke around with the posted version:)

Sure thing..I'll just need an email. Message me if you would like! Thanks!

Here's a quick stab at it using the small file just to show what I meant.

And no...The lamp doesn't have to be right dead center:)

Aright..black gotta go! I'm debating the change in the light..in a way I like how it stands out in a way I don't...hmmm...

I did desaturated the cyan's in the lamp glass a tiny bit but one could just as easily not do that, to my eye it looked a bit too blue but then my eye is wonky sometimes:)

yes, i think the darker cloud has to go as well - it looks almost like smoke trailing from the top of the light. and the straighter up&down post improves the shot as well... it is a bit blue, which looks fine to me, but have you tried a b&w conversion? with a black border and a nice matt, it would be great framed!
