Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[K1W1]

my pic of the day is a tutorial on DIY speedstraps and gels.

Cheap bastard.

You are upholding the ANZAC DIY spirit admirably my dear man.

have you thought about rotating the pic so the road is level then cropping in on the beastie maybe so the edge of the road is the bottom of the frame?

or how about cropping to the right of the elk so you can see more of the left side, since it's staring left?

thanks for the input guys took another stab at it. i don't really know what you mean about the road tho K1W1

thanks again

Something like this. I rotated the picture 3 degrees clockwise so the ground appears to be level with the bottom of the frame and then cropped it so the distracting piece of road disappeared. There is no right or wrong and if you are happy with your version then that is the correct version for you. For me I would rather concentrate on the Elk rather than the scenery in this particular setting.

I'm glad that you are happy with the suggestion. I don't really like taking other peoples pictures and modifying them then reposting.

I wasn't too sure about this after I took it but it has since grown on me.
