The Good, The Bad...

The Good: Shot on the Vivid Color setting
I like the color and clarity/sharpness of this photo.  The green vine gives the image depth and visual interest, and the silent interaction between the figurines is intriguing.


The Bad: Shot with the Shutter Speed 3"
The shutter speed was too long for this outdoor shot, absorbing too much light and causing the photo to appear over-exposed.  The long shutter speed washes out the colors and interferes with the feel of the photo.
The Edited: Originally the Vivid Color photo (seen above)
Using Adobe Lightroom, I changed the white balance to auto, changed the crop ratio to 4x6, and increased the black to +6.  I feel that these alterations improved the image by focusing more on the figurines and gave the color a little more saturation.
