    A misty morning in my campus

    I haven't got many chances to go out recently. So I more often walk around in my campus every week, and try to find something interesting. I took this shot 3 days ago when I found such heavy fog morning in my campus. I could not get the composition I wanted, so have to crop it afterward.

    Hi Yan,

    It looks good, but I can't help thinking it would make more of a statement if you upped the contrast, saturation, and sharpening.

    Happy to give it a "Photoshop 30 Second Makeover" (TM!) for you, but would be nice to have a higher resolution version to work with (if your interested).

    Colin,

    Thanks for your comments. I have a 14 MB jpg file, but I don't know how to send it to you?

    Hi Yan,

    A RAW file would be even better, if you have one.

    Easiest way to send a file of any size is to pop along to www.sendthisfile.com - and create yourself a free account. Then upload the file, but specify your OWN email address as the destination - and then just copy/paste the link it sends you into a PM to me here.

    Easy eh?

    The image has a very peaceful feel. Colin may be right...I normally go for a bit more drama in an image but the subdued atmosphere could end up being the best presentation for this particular scene. Try doing a version as Colin suggests and compare. I sometimes make more than one presentation of an image because in PP we can suppress or enhance various elements or attributes to produce more than one good image from a single photograph. Perhaps it's just because I can't decide which version I like best.

    Colin,

    I have the raw file, will try to do as you suggested.

    Chuck,

    Thanks for your comments. I usually only produce one jpg photo from a raw file. Probably in the future I should do as you suggested.

    Cheers,

    Yan

    Colin,

    This is really nice, and I never thought of this composition as I always considered the
    reflection. It seems I should consider this panorama style.

    Many thanks,

    Yan

    It is nice I agree, but I do wonder if Colin's spectacle frames are also this aspect ratio

    Nah - this is a 2.5:1 - my glasses are 2:1

    No worries Yan

    Why don't you copy what I've done, and then enter it in the monthly competition? (entries closing about this time tomorrow).

    Colin,

    Thanks for your encouragement. I have copied the image. Can you let me know how and where to submit this for the monthly competition?

    Hi Yan,

    By "copied" I meant "copy the look" rather than "just copy the file" (so it's all your work) not sure if that's what you meant too!

    ... and then just post to this thread here, along with a note of which team your in (Team Canon for you), and your in

    Colin,

    Thanks for clarifying this. I misunderstood. OK, I have worked out my own version now,
    will submit it shortly.

    Many thanks.
