Oops! forgot to mention, I do like your photograph, everything doesn't have to be in perfect focus to be appealing. I would like to see the finish work when you get it done.

Buddy36, Oh!!! I have taken photos that were out of focus, too dark, too light, crooked, and if I think I can save a photo, by all means, I will certainly try. I get kinda proud when I can pull it off and I don't mind telling how I save it, but that's just me and I do these for fun. Personnally, though, if I sold a photo or gave one to a friend and it had been photoshopped I would disclose it, I think it adds to the artistry of the photograph and to the ability of the artist ( just my opinion)

Need some ideas and feedback

Since you said it was ok I worked on it for a few minutes. I first cropped it....then filled in the portion of the window and left the third horse's face and hoofs...utilized shadow/highlites then added a very little contrast....utilized the brush tool to darken what I filled in....finally put a 2px black border. This was done very quickly and the result may not be better than the original you posted.

I've removed your photos from my PC.

I really like what you did with the photo!!!! Thanks!!

I like this photo, but I really want to do more with it. I thought about trying to keep all three horses and switching to a black background ,but don't know if that would work.. Any suggestions on how to improve. If anyone wants to work on it and upload their version, please feel free to do so

I believe the point made by JimH speaks to the notion of "making" an image -- which is one thing -- while pasting objects in during post-processing is another.

It's a new world. I'm inclined to embrace it all -- when it works effectively it can be great art! But, I believe it's important to fess up to what's 'real' and what isn't.

I totally agree, I don't see anything wrong with adding objects or photoshopping but I do feel very strongly that it should be noted when describing the photo... I appreciate the purest who change "nothing" on their photographs and they are magnificent, but some like me need a little help sometimes.

I used my Canon 30D with the 300 2.8 with the 2X converter on it. I haven't been to the zoo since I got the Canon 5D Mark II. Can't wait to give it a shot. Thanks for your comments.

Great topic!!!!!
