Sally, I'm at the public library now, but when I get on my pc I would like to work with the first photo and show what can be done for "FREE". If you are new to photography, Photo Shop CC and some other pp software can be a bit of a learning curve, as well as costly. I do 95% of all pp using Photo Gallery, which comes on Windows 7, but can be downloaded on later models. It is not the "latest and the greatest" but it works well and is super easy to use.
I'd love to see what you can do. But since I have LR6 already, I think I'll splurge and subscribe to the CC edition. I'd like to be able to access my photos from my tablet when I'm not at home and I think that would give me the capability.
I just wish I'd known about the subscription before I bought!
If you don't mind spending the time, I'd love to see what you can do with the photo.
Thanks again.

I like your pictures. Are you aware your antelope is a real trophy? Watching several hunting shows, I learned the more an antelope's horns are taller than its ears the greater the trophy. Nice catch.
Thanks! This was taken at a friend's son's ranch in NE Montana. I'm convinced that "Home on the Range" must have been written there. I've never seen so much wildlife in my life!
Another forum member ran the photo through PS and it made a huge improvement so I guess I'll break down and subscribe.
Thanks for the comment.

I love your pictures! As others have said, this is a butterfly bush. In Oregon, they're considered a noxious weed! I love them though. I always trimmed mine nearly to the ground in the winter. Thanks for sharing and bringing back pleasant memories!

Sally, the first shot is marvelous. The second one is okay. What do you think?
I totally agree. I think the composition is much better in the first. I was trying to pay attention to the "rule of thirds" in the second one and it didn't quite work out!

I used Photoshop CC Camera RAW filter(corrected exposure, contrast and Clarity) and Unsharp Mask filter. I spent less than 5 minutes.
I am really impressed. I guess I'll subscribe. . .wish I'd known about it before I bought the freestanding version of LR6!

They look sharp to me. The first one is focused on the eyes--good. The second one is focused on the horses' heads. I don't see the problem.
Thanks for taking a look!

Hi Sally and welcome to the club. I really like the second shot of the horses.
The first shot was helped a hundred percent in pp. I use Photoshop cs6 and like it.
Good luck and practice practice and practice. That is what we all do to get better at our craft.

Thanks. I'm convinced now that I need to subscribe to LR CC that I guess will give me PS as well. I wish I'd know about it before I bought LR6. And I know I need tons of practice!
Thanks again.

Sally, please press Quote Reply when you are replying. It helps to know who you are replying to.
Okay, thanks! Would you mind telling me what you used to sharpen it?

Hope you enjoyed your visit with us in Canada. I am a beginner also and I really like these. Something magical about old barns isn't there.
We had a great time, thanks! Actually, this is an old house . . . not sure whether it would have been for Aboriginals or early homesteaders. We were north of Jack Fish Lake.

I think that's much better! How'd you do it? I have LR6 . . . maybe I need Photoshop or??

When we were in Canada last month, I was delighted to find this old home sitting on the edge of the field. I'm new to this so your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks. I think I'll just try to stay around 200mm if possible.
