Lightbulb Walk to a fountain



I took this a couple of years, found it lying in my flicker account that haven't checked for years. I love the situation in this pic and would love it in my portfolio.
I'm sorry i don't have any technical specs.

Please let me know what areas would you suggest an improvement. Thanks

If this is still on your flickr account, you can still get the Exif data by clicking on "Actions">"View Exif Data"

You have a nice shot with good composition. The colors do look a little flat and I think that's because the sky is blown out.

To get nit-picky, I would also consider keeping the horizon level and cloning out the sign and garbage can on the left. Maybe the telephone poles in the background also.

I tried doing a levels adjustment and setting the black and white points in your image to give the colors more "pop." I can post it or tell you what I did if you want.

@Krusty79 I just looked up, this was my first assignment at school. Totally missed the things you pointed out. Thanks.

My $.02:

I love the colors of the trees against the white of the fountain. I would zoom in a little bit and let the trees frame the fountain.

Good shot.
