make it better

[studysession]

As the title says, I want to make it better. I am using figurines to practice on using any and all of the advice from the site and improving my my photo's

What could I do to make this shot better?

Thanks

What kind of post processing did you apply?

I would try to increase vibrance or saturation to make the colors pop more, also raise the brightness/exposurea a little as the picture looks a little dark. That's just my opinion though.

I did increase the vibrancy and saturation and that is all I did to the photo.
I think it has a lot of potential but I want the colors to pop more and figure out how I need to setup the lighting.

Not sure if it matters - I am shooting in RAW format so did the saturation and vibrancy from the RAW file and then saved it as a JPG to upload here.

What program are you using?

[studysession]

PhotoShop Elements 9

[homank76]

I don't know that program at all. Could you also try boosting the contrast...that may do wonders for the picture as well.

I will try and see
thanks

I would suggest adjusting the levels. Just go to the levels page in adjustments, go to Red, green, and blue channels, and drag the end sliders in each channel to where the graph starts to bump up. hope that helps

Thanks for the replies - I will try that.
