Nice Pic.
As long as your chillies DON'T have wheels, they're NOT off-topic.

Too deep, too shallow?
The faults I could find in that image are - some parts are blown out, camera shake, distracting background, distracting foreground.

OK. Here are the links for my post #1878 and 1879.

I took this picture in 1985; Place: Baroda; Camera: One of those day's Ordinary Auto-Focus; Man in Picture: my friend Suresh Kumar, in action of a catch position.
He complained that I cut his head off.. But it turned out to be a great action picture..

I hope you don't mind my taking liberty to edit your picture. I just think this crop would look much better. A lot of times a good photos value is increased by the way it is presented. Be it composition adjustment by cropping or enhancing in PS.

Dear Mayavi,
Thanks a ton.. I practically know nothing about photo editing. I just uploaded the pic as scanned...
Thanks for the help... It looks more clear and the effect is good.
In fact this print I pulled out from my old Album and it is 20 years old...!!!!

What's the best way to crop this shot?

)...almost like you would see them on corbis or gettyimages.

Thanks Rehaan for the compliment.

Hi I got myself a S3IS and am mighty satisfied with it. Posting my first three photos with this camera

What do you guys think about it ??. By the way the elephant is one of my neighbours tame and trained one. Lots like him in Assam
