Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Not Quite Right (Basic Editing)
Camera: Kodak C613
Location: Rosario, Argentina
Date: Apr 21, 2009
Aperture: f/4.8
ISO: 80
Shutter: 1/690 sec
Galleries: Macro, Photo-Impressionism
Date Uploaded: Apr 21, 2009

This is direct sunlight reflecting on the wood, hammer and nail. The idea was to create a lot of contrast and nice shadows with such a bright light source, giving the photograph some kind of tense feeling. The title is also meant to create some tension, sort of like "The Untouchables".
I would have liked to get a sharper nail, and less color noise, but there is just so much you can do with basic editing.
Crop, Hue/Saturation, Brightness & Contrast, Reduce Color Noise, USM, Resize, USM again, Frame.

WOOHOO! Now it's quite right!! Personal best, crossed 6 barrier and first Top Ten! It's a shame though that Smoking Tulip by sekarmalathy was DQ'ed, I really like that shot.

This is not quite right! I was soooo close to being a Top Ten! Oh well, I'm very happy anyway, since it's a personal best, and I finally crossed the 6 barrier!! :)

I really liked this picture. The light is a little too bright for me - i would have turned it down just a bit to make sure the textures remained clear - 8
