Nice shot. I like the shadows of the runners on the road but I find the background a bit distracting though.

Hi kelly!! I am going to attempt a helping hand here :)

The first thing I noticed is your DOF. If you are shooting a landscape like this, try a critical f8 or f11. It will pull the whole street into focus.

Second thing is the really bright whites. Set your ISO to 100 and adjust around it.

A little advice from someone going through it herself: always shoot at least 20 shots... 10 with your f stop at 8 and various shutter speeds and 10 with your f stop at 11 with various shutter speeds.

In photoshop CS, if you want to add a lovely border, try the image>canvas size option or make a selection with the rectangular marquee and do edit>stroke. That will get rid of those comments but does little else.

I hope this helps :)

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.

Aside from the obvious- DNMC 640x640
The effect on the skin and the shadows on the wall are both kind of unpleasant... IMHO.
