    Springtime first picture

    Well this is the first picture of "spring" for me. One of the first decent weekends this year in belgium and I got this killer foto

    Picture was taken when I was out with a few girls, this little kid started picking flowers near us so I decided "well you walk infront of my lens, so your getting your picture taken"

    Here it is

    apologies for the Watermark but I don't let people use my photo's without me knowing what they are used in/for so....

    The watermarks/text are xtreme overkill...really takes away from the picture. The shot is great though.

    The picture is pretty good but I would crop it so there's less grass in the front of the picture and a little less blue of the sky in the top area.

    Yep, less grass would do nicely...and take it easy, put your work under a creative commons and be done with it.

    Yeah agreed about the watermarks, they're spoiling the pic but I guess they are necessary in a quick way.

    Crop the bottom and top of the pic as alexio stated, it'll look far better without an overbalance of one color over another. Plain bland sections of one colour spoil this sort of pic where you have a central themed focal point.

    I would say try 1024x887, roughly what you're after.

    First off, its a small kid, so /tinfoilhat=On beware of the nutjobs crawling out the woodwork /tinfoilhat=off.
    Secondoff, i REALLY don't like people using work of mine if its not "OK'd" for release. be it picture be it whatever. Rather this then the picture be used without my concent in a way I don't find it fitting.

    And also, keep in mind the watermark is something i whipped on in like 1 minute, including the time photoshop took to boot.

    Sorry, the watermarks completely kill it. I can see 1 watermark to show it belongs to you, but 3 BIG ones is excessive. Not to mention, I can't even tell what is going on in the photo with those watermarks.

    Nah not mine

    Seeing that kid does make my dad instinct emerge. Although I warned about nutjobs crawling out of the woodwork, its actually a very cute kid so trust me when I say I'd be dam proud if that little rugrat was mine

    For all you watermark whiners:



    Moved the watermark a bit, added homepage (no pics on my homepage though, yet) so the picture is less cluttered. Still haven't cropped the picture cause this is just to show the "Raw" picture. I don't like posting polished up photo's
