I was wondering what i could do to actually improve the image. I'm thinking about sending it into a competition (maybe) and is there anything i should do other than:
Re-Edit/PP in RAW
Larger dimensions
Less grain/noise
Try not to blow out highlights in PP..or should i leave the blown out clouds in the lower part of the sky?
I'm not so sure about:
How much is too much saturation...i'm kindof unsure.
More, less, or ok brightness?
Is the sky too bright?
I'm thinking about a 8x6, but maybe a 6x4 b/c it's going by mail?...uh, 20x16. :D
Any other pointers?
here for more info...its for us highschoolers in wa. :-S Not exactly expecting to win after seeing previous year's entries (er, and seeing that there are 4000 entries)
Anyways, i'm probably going to send it (if i can get the form signed) probably by thrusdayish...oh, hmm, i got to print it and put it on a board + 'glue' very soon - so umm, 28th is the deadline.
