FINAL IMAGE " SNOWY TREE "

I think this is going to be one of my final images i was taken in the middle of the day it had stopped snowing but it was still really cold,

I had to be very careful of the ice made sure that i did not slip over, i took some one with me as i had to walk over a couple of fields,

This image was taken with my Canon 550d with my Canon zoom lens ef 70 - 300 mm 1:4 - 5.6 is usm.

ISO 100

9.0

1/250

m setting

At this stage i changed the image to the required size

w:297mm

h: 420: mm

r: 300 mm

I have changed the sharpness and made the back ground trees and hedges darker, i think this works with the image as it makes them stand out more and makes the tree stand out, The composition of the picture works well with the tree being central in this image. 

The rule of the thirds is present in this image both with the tree, hedges and the sky.

This is my final image think its sharper, and stands out better.

William jumping

This is my original image again there is a little bit of dirt on the left hand side i have cloned this and have deleted it later on.

Original size

New size 

This is the final image again i like this as his feet are of the ground and hes not looking direct at me, i have deleted the dirt on the left.

I know that his shadow is present but i do like this.

i have taken a image of William with a ball there was some dirt on the bottom left corner and just to the right of his head i have cloned the back ground and have erased the marks. 

i think this looks a lot better now and sharper and cleaner. The rule of the thirds is present in this image i know that he is of set to the left but i think this makes this images stand out.
