oh yeah, it's blurry. i don't own a tripod yet but i don't need the image larger 800x600 pixels

more attention drawn to fairy girl at the front of the pic would be good but not so much as to overwhelm the action in the background

photoshop isn't a magic tool that turns a bad picture into a good one with everything exactly as you want.

i dunno man. it does that sometimes. i have been having excellent luck with underexposed shots due to poorly calculated manual shutter speed. i was so disappointed at the shot, then i fucked with curves, and it was seriously like fucking magic.

If you're using a Windows machine, then you can use irfanview to resize the image or even re-save it and optimize the file size. There's a bunch of other options in there as well for editting, color to grayscale, etc. It's free, just google it.

yeah sure pushing the curves around to adjust an exposure sure, but it won't magically make your picture not blurry and somehow recompose your shot so theres more emphasis somewhere else.
>> Wiggleh-Chan !!aQC6jWhryPk
yeah it's just the underexposure i'm unable to lighten up without it looking horrible. i didn't think changing this was a big deal if you know what you were doing.

and i don't need to recompose the shot, just wanted a bit more emphasis on the girl on the side through lightening up certain parts of the picture more, didn't think that was tough either.

i'll just read some tutorials and fuck around. was hoping someone here would give it a shot so i could see what's possible.

You actually have a lot of detail in the shadows. Play around w/ it a little more and you might find what you were looking for.
Well composed by the way.
