So I didnt have a camera with me while hunting this weekend so I snapped this pic with my blackberry. It turned out cool and I was wondering what/should it be doctored up and if so what needs to be done? Id like to get it framed up. To me it looks kinda grainy and the lighting is a bit weird. I have photoshop elements but suck pretty bad.

Any ARFCOM photo gurus wanna help me out?

It's not a bad pic for the camera used.



You could try sharpening it and maybe either stretch the contrast a tiny bit or saturate the colors.




But I'd probably leave it alone...

Ya it seemed to turn out pretty well for a 2 megapixel cell phone camera. My buddy took some higher res shots but he didnt get them from this angle.

I messed with it a bit but cant tell if it looks better or not. I dont really even know where to begin on this stuff

The great thing about digital is it's cheap to experiment with editing pictures...

There are a lot easier ways of killing Mallards. Sit on a park bench and throw some cheese-doodles on the ground then reach down and pick them up by the neck.

This what you were hoping for?

That definately looks alot cleaner and newer. The original kind of appears dirty and old because of the contrast or something.

IM sent for email address. Thanks for the help!

What fun is that?

I prefer waking up at the crack of dawn and busitng ass half a mile through knee deep mud and sludge only to stand in freezing water waste deep all while a 20mph breeze is blowing

Ya the black white is another good look. Does it look to grainy for that though? I kinda like it as it looks a little older maybe.

Is there a way to boost resolution on a photo?

I used macman's version, but made it sepia toned and added the noise to make it look old.





Here is his version in black and white.

I'd consider selectively coloring the ducks and the shotgun and leave everything else either sepia or black and white.



I can't do that right now or I'd give it a shot.
