Critique.

Hi,

I am more used to shooting and editing black and white film pictures than I am colour pictures so I wondered if anyone could take a look at this picture which I have edited and give me some feedback as to my edits and whether you think I have done a good job or not. I always find it handy to have another eye to look over my edits.

I have been doing photography as a hobby for around a year now and up until last month I was only using black and white film cameras. I now have a fujifilm x10 and I want to get more confident in my colour photography and editing.

This is the unedited RAW file simply exported as a JPEG and resized to 1024x768:

I may upload more of my shots if the thread gains any interest.

Thanks for any comments, and please feel free to take the unedited JPEG and show me what you would have done differently!

Asa

Personally i think you've done a nice job on this

Contrast looks good (maybe very slightly over done), colours are vibrant and not over saturated and you've bought out good detail in the shadows. Also image looks like its got just the right amount of sharpening too it. Not enough and its too soft, too much and it ruins a good photo.
