Default Relaxing on the Heath

IMG_2526


I took this at the weekend up at Hampstead Heath.

EXIF:
Camera: Canon EOS 550D
Exposure: 1/4000 sec
Aperture: f/2.0
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 100

No post processing

I'm pleased with how this came out, but have a feeling it could be improved. I'm extremely new to all aspects of digital photography and have a lot to learn.

Thanks for taking the time to look

-Mike

really nice shot.

First thing I would do were it mine would be to take aome space off of the right of the frame and try a punchy B&W conversion. I'd also try a 'vintage' conversion or two.

Depending on the resolution and sharpness on the original file, I'd also make something of the reflection in the shades.

Plenty to play with in this one.

Good job

It was shot on a 50mm 1.8
I think it's because the jacket has a split at the cuff
