About:
I'm BACK!! Might as well post one of my many Peggy's shots :-)
BTW, I'm not sure if I've ever seen such a funky sky there before? I think it was the marine layer (fog) moving in but it was cool how the light seemed to explode out of the end of the rocks.
Please, no multiple invites or crazy glittery graphics. Thank You

Nice Photo.........What's your true WORTH for a photo you ask?, well,
as an Award Winning Photographer:
Here's a simple but Extremely useful test for all you Flickr Photogs
to determine whether your shots are COMMERCIALLY VIABLE :-)
Take an unframed / framed photo and put it on the street for sale,
pick a few random passersby to ask how much they would pay for
it, specially, if their answer is "I don't need to buy a photo"...........
if you're satisfied with whatever they ARE willing to pay for it
regardless........then THAT's your TRUE WORTH for that photo!.
As far as what MAKES a Great photo?, a few things in short.....
in this ---> Order: Composition / Content / Lighting / Focus ,
Symmetry (watch out for SPOILERS like jagged edges, off frame
Subjects / Objects sticking in the frame and distractions such as
a piece of crumpled paper in what otherwise amounted to be a calm
and peaceful scene.
Wider fields and greater Depth, Colors / Tone / White Balance
and Shades. Highlights should not be washed out and Shadows
should not be overcast! (unless of course the intent is such) to
find the right BALANCE between the two, is true GENIUS!.
Either, number of objects has to be as many as possible in a
frame or, even if it is just ONE object, you have to have as many
sub objects as possible, for instance you could shoot a landscape
with lots of trees, clouds and fields with shades of sunlight and
a barnyard in the distance with maybe a windmill at sunset,
that, gives you enough objects, OR JUST, snap a tree in a photo
but if the tree shows finer details in leaves and branches and
ribs and veins, you've got yourself a great photo as well.
Another good example would be, Sand, which by itself is just
that, SAND!, but if the photo also shows the fine details in
hundreds and thousands of grains of sand taken at right angles
with proper lighting and the right focus, you end up getting a great
shot!
So, a compromise between many objects in a single frame OR just
one object with attention to details....Last but not least is….
Sharpening, it’s an art to do this , (always zoom to 100% BEFORE
sharpening) do not over or undersharpen the image, Unless the
intent was such.
Always resize the image BEFORE sharpening. And Remember to take your shots from a spot most others can't get to, or time, most
are sleeping, after all there are Millions of people taking pictures of the Statue of Liberty or Times Square why should anyone pay for or look at your pics? Unless of course.......it's RADICALLY different or taken from a 100 story building..........Hanging upside down.
Good Luck to ALL and…Happy Snapping!! :-)
