About the Image(s)
Before I get to my description, I’d like to thank everyone for comments of the past. I went back to my beginning with this group and copied all your helpful comments regarding images I’d like to use in shows or exhibits. I will periodically be using your comments to make better images. Thank you for all the great feedback.
My husband, Tim and I are off to Ireland the first couple weeks of September. It’s the first time we have travelled overseas. We are excited. Hope I can bring back some images that will fit into our assignments.
This door image was taken in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, which is a quaint, popular tourist town. Most of the shops are thriving and open, but I wandered upon this interesting door. With three locks, it obviously wanted to have its secrets hidden. I did not sharpen this image, but the white spots on the black paint look over-sharpened. I dulled them down some with the burn tool. Other suggestions?
I used my trusty Canon 20D for this image with a 17-85 mm lens. Focal length set at 50 mm. Settings were 1/250 sec, f/6.3, ISO 800, Shutter priority.

I don't have an answer to your question since the web version of your image looks just fine. My only suggestion for improvement is the add a slight vignette to the entire image to help prevent the eye from wandering off its left side where the brightest big area of the photo draws my eye after looking at the interesting details. See my edit. Not sure if you can tell the difference. It is a -25 vignette in Photoshop's Raw Filter.   Posted: 09/15/2023 14:43:27
Hope you had fun in Ireland. One of my favorite places.   Posted: 09/19/2023 08:48:51
