Re: Just Joined today
Welcome to Pixalo Jam
![]() I think we all struggle with Photoshop, even if we have been using it for some time! Nice selection of shots in your gallery. The calm before the storm looks a bit soft, and could do with a straighten anti-clockwise a bit. Also a lower viewpoint might have been better. The London scene, by accident or design has the background washed out. This is not in itself a problem as it accentuates the foreground interest, but the white walkway to the pier is a bit of a distraction, although I know that it is difficult to find a section of the river in this area that does not have any similar structures. Funchal could do with the lamp not being so central, and there is a bit of haze/blue cast that might have been improved by using a UV filter. Hatton Locks is a bit over-exposed with the white blowing out, and the trees could do with a bit more contrast. It would be nice to see all of the lock gate arms too. The French scene is a nice detail, but it looks as if the street sloping away to the right might have a repeating series of hanging baskets that would make an interesting shot going down the hill. Of course, I was not there, so it might be that there was a lorry just out of shot that would not allow that option . A little post processing would improve these shots, and you do say they are straight out of the camera. All in all a nice collection to start your Pixalo membership with Keep an eye out for feedback in the gallery too.
