You bring up the Contrast, darken the High Lights and if you have a clarity control, bring that us a few notices. What PP do you have.

I just used Picasa, new to all this, I always just snapped pics, but seeing all the amazing pictures on here I would love to know more.

Gee I guess that's a great way to improve this photo. Great advice. I view some of yours and to be honest you have quite a ways to go before you can start throwing stones.

In Picasa I would double click on the image bring up into the work viewer. Then click on the little sun (second one) an moon.

Next I would bring my Shadows slider about halfway. Then the Highlights about 1/4 of the way. Hope that will help you.

Guess you can see the difference. Now it looks like it has some depth of field. Keep playing with it, It only gets better.

I am not throwing stones..It is in the section where people are asked for their views.That is my honest view.I am not a good photographer but I still; have views on other folk's photos. If we are not allowed to air our opinions by loud mouths like you it is all a waste of time.

The OP asked how to improve it. Not your opinions on how to like it. If you want to be a critic I would suggest you hand out at on this this thread.

He said "Gee that does hold my attention." Where are the stones. I took it as a compliment. Did you see it as snark?
