About Thank you for looking.
I would love some advice on how to fix this photo. The horizon is so crooked but if I crop at an angle I will cut off her ear. Any suggestions about how to fix it, any particular cropping or other ideas? Or maybe the horizon doesn't bother you? Please tell me your opinion. Thanks very much!

Honestly I thought it was a hill! Not that the horizon was tilted or anything! So just keep it as it is ;)
The colors are wonderful and vivid and she seems so happy!
Perfectly titled!
dont worry you dont have to fix it! its great! :)

I don't have any advice for how to fix the horizon, but I actually wanted to say that I think it works well here. It kind of adds to the joyride feel, in fact.

Hi Gaja,

Very nice picture, exposure and colors!

For the tilted horizon, you may want to try a rectangular selection on the top and then use the cloning tool in photoshop to add a little bit of the sky on the left side (or the green fields on the right) to make it look straight.

Hi Senthil,

Thanks for the advice. After getting comments on this image I'm starting to think that I like the tilt because it emphasizes the feeling of freedom. But I may try it just to see. thanks again,

Gaja

I love the shot as it is (I wouldn't crop it!), but I like P.J.'s advice on it's presentation!


Fadel J   {K:13747} 5/29/2005
Beautiful shot and colors Gaja, I honestly think it looks fine, I didn't notice the tilt until you mentioned it, wasn't distracting at all, I could be wrong but i feel the dog and the red thing on the left make the image balanced.

hi P.J.

great idea. that rotation looks really cool. thanks!

Lovely shot, especially the look in her eyes and that flapping ear. I have a different suggestion that's a bit more subtle. The horizon looked like a hill to me but the slanting verticals on that red feed trough give it away. Why not select only the trough, rotate it just enough to make that RH corner vertical, then repaste it and clone/blur the joins? Incidentally I would also slightly desaturate that green, it looks a bit overblown.


Gaja Snover   {K:4462} 6/15/2005
Hi Roger,

Thanks for your suggestion and for pointing out the oversaturation of the green.

best,
Gaja

Gaja,

Angles smangles indeed! You got the picture and that?s all that counts. Leave it alone, because it tells the story as it is. 7 +++.

My Best,

Jr. Martin
