Mark,
I tried shooting the other way, but not when she was picking, as I had to
then be inside the tree. Since the trees were dwarf trees, I would have to
climb in among the branches, though that might create an interesting shot.
Something to try for the next time.
How does one lift the image? I'm a PS novice, and am always trying to
pick up new techniques. Any info would be appreciated.
I'll try 38 without the tree. I thought of it as a way to counterbalance
my daughter's form on the left hand side, but I'm interested to see how it
looks without this. From all of the suggestions I've gotten, there's a lot
to play with here.
Thanks for looking and commenting. I really appreciate your thoughts.
Best,
Michael
