Exposure is way too dark and white ballence is too blue. you have a lot of obvious lens distortion (keystoning)

Most likly the lens distortion is the falt of the cam and I don't know a DPC legal fix for this If anyone offers please pass it on. Most cams have an ajustable white ballance. start palying with yours so you have a beter idea what it can do. Also read your manuel and find the Exposure compensation and ISO. this needed to be bosted up. the danger with boosting upexposure comp is hand and camera shake if your in the position of tring to boost exposure make sure you find something to brace on the hood of your car parked in front or in the car braced on the window would have worked if you boost ISO you get grain too much reads as noise. flash on most point and shoots wount light up the secen and will bump doun your exposure comp.

Because of the keystoning I think this is not a good subject for your camera.

Good Luck

Very orginal. Your biggest flaw here was your lack of lighting, its to dark and it has left you grainy. Also, you have to much red saturation. The white on the cans appears pink, a simple adjustment in editing can correct this.


I feel this does meet the challenge and was also a very refreshing take on it. A little better lighting and this can be a fantastic photo.

Wow. I like this unusual perspective, cropped much tighter than the traditional rose photo. The curves and colors are very sensual. On one hand, I'd like to see the depth of field a bit greater, so I can see more than one petal in crisp focus, but on the other hand, I like how it sort of melts away into the background. Nice job!

THis is a beautiful rose shot. so velvety, so gracefully curvaceous! all the richness and stiring all the emotion of a red velvet prom dress in a heap on the floor

Very grand and nice, moody tones. I like the lens distortion here because it makes the church seem slightly unreal--as many sacred things seem.

Beautiful scene. Image is a little too blurred and noisy though. A tripod (or car roof!) would erradicate the movement and a longer exposure at a higher f stop would help reduce the noise.

finally a picture of a flower that is interesting. I like that you found the texture and folds, and showed it to me. Wonderful- would have liked it cropped to avoid the yellow at top.
