Challenge: Warm Colors (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot SD750
Location: Balcony

Aperture: automatic
ISO: automatic
Shutter: automatic
Date Uploaded: Mar 31, 2008

 No one would pose for me for this picture, so i used 10 second timer on the balcony to capture the light. It worked pretty well with the yellow dress and daffodils, really capturing the warm colours. I like the picture, but i'm afraid it may be a little boring

out of focus.

I would have liked a tighter crop, not seeing the stems and finer detail in the hair which looks rather grainy to me. I like the idea.

Your file size is only 29k when you could have used up to 150k. This indicates a lot of JPEG compression, which is taking a lot of detail out of your photo. Look at the pixellation visible around some of the flowers edges and you will see what I am referring to. Check the JPEG compression settings in your image editor and always try to save as close to the limit for a challenge as you can get it without going over.

Also, the focus is a little off. the eye is drawn to a part of the flower that is not quite in focus. Having the flower in focus and the girl a little blurry may have worked better here.

The bright unfocused flowers grab our attention right off the bat. The rest of the image is nice.

Composition would be strong, but the whole thing is out of focus.

I can't find a focal point in this shot. The flowers, which I think are the focus of the photo, are way to OOF.

OOF a little...or the focus is on the person, which throws the foreground out. Fuzzy flowers distract from an otherwise cool idea.
