Thought I'd share a photo I worked on this last weekend. I decided to take some of my photos and make cards out of them. This one I adjusted in Topaz Adjustment 4.

Here it is!

It's not a bad photo, but I feel like the background is fighting for attention with the flowers on the stand. Maybe crop in a little closer so there isn't so much green all around. Just a suggestion. :)

It's not a bad concept it's just busy... :)

Using topaz adjust has the effect of levelling all detail out...it's like one of those picture where you sort of relax your eyes and out pops the statue of liberty in 3D.

I'd say that you need to make the flower/stand stand out more, it's the subject but it's hard to tell.


Darken the edges of the shot so that your eye knows what it's supposed to lock on to and back off on the topaz adjust a bit.

Our eyes gravitate to the lightest and sharpest thing in the scene naturally, so it makes sense that the subject is both sharper than the rest and brighter than the rest.
