What is wrong with this picture? There are the little things that can make or break a picture. In this case for the picture above, I want you to guess what is wrong with this picture I have edited. The picture is not taken by me, but by my friend. I just edit it a little bit.

So, readers, what is wrong with this picture?

After post-processing

Developing skills means that you need to try a lot of thing and do a lot of errors before you finally get to the point where you are really learning something. This picture is a product my trial-and-error to learn about portraiture long time ago. I was learning about composition of Rule-Of-Third. As you can see the picture really fit the ROT and the picture to is nice too, don’t you think? On the camera display, the picture is perfect and everything looks nice. But when I downloaded it to my Mac, the real problems showed up. Still, I can smile because I know how to save the image and make it usable again. Do the magic with Photoshop, and walla, everything is okay. The picture is composed nicely and it is worth the extra time I poured into it to process.

If you want to have a look at the original picture, read this post in full.
