windmill overgrown by scrubs

[zapp]

ok kids what could I do to make this photo a great photo?

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/j_p_h/2224524279/" title="windmill overgrown by scrub trees by John / Dad etc etc, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2031/2224524279_21efd13623.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="windmill overgrown by scrub trees" /></a>

I already love the photo myself, but I just know if I tweaked it or changed something when I shot it, it would be .... THE photo ... ya know?

EXIF is on flickr

it is ok to edit THIS photo for THIS thread

Thank you in advance

John

I like the scene, but I think a close crop and a tighter compostion would help bring out the beautiful structure and color that you have found.

I have some variations on flickr using that very idea .... hmmmmmm maybe I should go re-look those

Thanks for the input

looks like we were swapping threads :D for a second ...

Hi taykuyphotoart:
Well...definitely you can add some drama in post processing. The problem I think your photo has is two subjects at the same point fighting for attention. So it will be hard to make the photo pop with this problem. Besides that some work with levels, and saturation can make it more appealing but you will continue having the same issue with 2 subjects.
Why don't you try to remove one of them?
Good luck and thanks for sharing it!
