I'm not sure I understand the sarcasm in your comment.
I am 41 years old and have taken pictures all my life with 35 mm film.
If something was wrong in my picture, then I had to live with it.
Now I am recently discovering the advantages of digital photography.
I wanted a picture of my daughter with her filly.
Not sure how 'Google' will help me get a picture of those 2 subjects.
If it had been a film picture, you would have seen 'distractions' in the photo.
Such as what I took away: flies (5 of them) blue cords laying around and a flashy white electric band below the fence.
I think it is wonderful that it can be done with the clone tool.
The rest is perfectly fine imo.
The background is a little overexposed compared to the subjects, but as you said, this is outdoors photography.
I do not like the artificial flavor of studio photography, plus good luck fitting horses in a studio
I sense something negative in both your posts in my topic, which is meant to be a happy topic.
If you can't refrain yourself, please go to the next topic.
I am open to constructive criticism, but not someone telling me I am not doing photography here.
The title of this picture in my Flickr account is: I love you
And as a matter of fact, this is what I tried to represent in this picture, cause my daughter loves her filly so much.
Sorry for wall of text btw
Oh come on, a comment is a comment, the point of criticism is not to make someone happy but to tell him what you think of the topic/photo/..
When someone tells me he loves to paint brush away the bad parts of the photo it kind of bothers me since I am strongly against this type of editing.
