What could be improved?

Marko, thanks again for your comments. I guess you are right, shot 3 is definitely more interesting.

Mad Aussie thanks for commenting on the composition.

Ed, I was really surprised on the improvements made particularly in the one of the old man. All you had to do, using masks etc., I had no idea this could be post processing techniques, just goes to show that I still have a lot to learn.

Idea! Marko what about a podcast on post processing? I mean especially retouching images, such as in this case. You know, curves, levels, exposure correction, etc. etc.. I'm always confused as to what order to work in, should I use levels or curves, etc. etc.

Thanks again to all!

Just so it's clear....I give opinions based on my eye and experience but it's your shot and you are always free to disagree or ignore our suggestions.

For that podcast idea...it's a VERY tough one to do in the 20-25 minutes that the podcasts normally run....what you are describing could EASILY be a 2-3 hour course......but I'll think about it and at least try to put something together in a blog post or possibly a workflow podcast.
thx for the suggestion! Marko

Thanks Marko, I understand it's an opinion but I respect it and will definitely keep it in mind. I'm glad you like the podcast suggestion although I understand its complexities
