You got to get it right on the neg. the rest will follow...
I don't see the point in being a purist for all subject matter, PS filters are so widely used you have to really master them to get great results. but it happens and it is a skill in itself. the thousands of saturated and pushed pictures on photoblogs fail to grab me but fc9k's shot has more depth, an unusual amount, add that to the placement of red paint around the picutre and your eye keeps moving. helps that its a well composed shot to start with
on a more interesting note - does anyone know of a reliable place i can take my Canon for service/repairs in London? the sensor locked up whilst cleaning and now it wont come back to life. the sensor works (if it put it on auto the lens moves) but the menus are dead.
