>>3998079out of interest... how do you define a 'salvageable image'? what aspect of the 'original' that i posted makes you think:
a) its a bit shit at the moment
b) there's SOMETHING that could be tinkered in post-processing to 'make it look better'?
i've played with the image on lightroom and attached it. i guess my subjective response would be to say that "I like what I've done to the image, here" - adjusting the tone, colouring... given it a 'cinematic feel' which i find aesthetically pleasing... i've cropped it a touch as well.
but where is the line between objectively good and shite, and how does that interact with our own subjective response to an image?
