I not only love the variety of your imagery, Lisa, but your ability to capture the moment. I like the story here and that you've shown a great deal of the location he is viewing. It would be nice to to have had a bit lower POV which would have moved him into the image more and perhaps a bit more of the view on his right. If you use Photoshop you can modify that a bit by using the recompose tool and move him forward in the image to give the illusion of a lower POV.

I love this image, Lisa. If it were mine, I would remove all of the people except the man sitting - just him and his shadow. I really like the comp, but Dale always has great ideas worth implementing. Nice work!

What a great shot! I am with Susan on taking out all the people except the one sitting on the bench

I have a shot of these columns - Jerash was one of my favorite stops on our trip. I understand the impact of removing the people other than the subject - I think it will be a stronger photo but with an entirely different feel. For me I would just lower the contrast slightly and open up the shadows a bit.

Lisa, a nice shot, well-framed, looks well exposed, an interesting place. It is a moment in time, and you did show a great deal of the location he is viewing. What did you want us to see in this picture? What was your vision? What was your story? I see a couple of potential compositions using pretty severe crops: In the picture as posted, you might: That would help provide some leading lines

Well, you've gotten some great suggestions. I'll just sit back and see what you come up with.

Hi, thanks everyone (Dale, you made my day!) i've gotten a little stuck on the editing, because i've been trying to do the first suggestion of using the recompose tool in photoshop-i found out that it's called the 'content-aware tool', and I can draw areas with it, but can't figure out how to apply it-there's no button coming up for that. Does anyone know?

Sorry, can't help Lisa. The tool in elements works differently I believe. However, I can guess. If your version has you select areas to save and areas that can go, then you will probably have a bounding box around the image when you are finished marking it. You then simply move the sides in, in the direction you want to make the change. In the case of this image, you would move the bottom up.

You sure get around Lisa! Thank you for showing us yet another place that we will probably never visit.

I really like the story this tells. I will wait and see what happens.

Sorry Lisa I have not played enough with those tools to be a help. Many of them allow you to drag a selection and then just clicking outside the photo sets them or brings up a dialog box. Not sure about the tool you are talking about. PSE apparently has a totally different tool that was not in CS that allows a smart removal of an area in the center of a shot. CS has some very sophisticated smart fill tools but I have not played with anything but smart fill itself so I don't know the proper way to use them.
