That photo has good potential hillbilly.  It's a little flat and needs some zip to the colors.  It also needs a sharpen on just the deer to make it pop.  I will use photoshop to clean it up when I get home tonight. 

As far as composition, photos like this are always tough because it lends itself to a crop with the deer in the center but that leaves it as boring in terms of the crop.  Maybe Tom has some ideas...

It does look better with more contrast there and sharpening.  I still think there is a blueish tinge to it...?

I agree a little blue.  You did clear it up nicely.  Is that with CS2

Here is an online set of photo tools that are free to use.


Aviary, is a suite of free design tools. Now anyone with internet access can use them without installing anything. You just need to visit Aviary and you're all set. http://aviary.com/home?worth1000

Aviary should be enough for anyone to get started making some really amazing images (and other types of media). Aviary also allows you to share and work on files with other people in the Aviary community, which makes it even easier to learn.

So far we have released 4 applications into public beta, with many more planned:

- Phoenix: an image editor (similar to Adobe Photoshop / Gimp)
- Raven: a vector editor (useful for logos / and clothing design)
- Toucan: a color editor
- Peacock: an effects editor

We even created an entire free education center where people can learn how to make awesome effects!

If you enjoyed Worth1000, I hope you'll also take the time to try out Aviary
