Just in case people aren't aware of the this, the swastika is an ancient symbol the predates Nazism by thousands of years. You'll see it in many parts of the world especially where Hinduism is popular. It is NOT in and of itself a negative symbol.
OK - history aside. I like this shot. I'm guessing that the colour is this reddish colour in reality.
This is already a decent shot in my opinion but here's what I would do to make it better
- The whole shot is leaning a bit to the right so I'd fix that
- You see how the left side and bottom are dark. I would probably darken the rest of the top edge and right edge OR lighten the left side and bottom to match the rest. Actually I might darken the top and right and lighten a WEE bit the bottom and left to bring out a touch more shadow detail. Basically I'm talking about vignetting the shot a bit.
- The swastika is a bit soft and I'd sharpen it a bit.
- I'd probably play with the levels a wee bit more to see what i could get (but you are pretty close already I think)
Anyone else?
Hope that helps!
