There's always one isn't there?

Originally shared by Dylan van Graan

There's always one isn't there? That single image from a day out or a holiday that you absolutely love but you just can't seem to get it to look right!

After editing you live with it and after a couple of days you try again, very often with results so close to one another you can't decide which is better. Sometimes with vastly different results, and you end up liking the first iteration more.

When I get one of these difficult so and so's I jokingly excuse myself from the dinner table saying that I need to get back to doing battle :)

Worst is, I have two........

  1. Agreed. Another type of image that drives me crazy is the one that doesn't match the 'mind's eye' in camera. I generally find that no amount of post processing helps (and usually makes it worse).

  2. Absolutely! Ones that cannot yield to what should be an easy edit. That just do not get to where they need to be. That insist on being mediocre. Ones that you can do a dozen ways, all wrong. And of course, never be able to shoot again...

  3. I have a batch of photos that cannot be edited they way I wish, as my software will not go "far enough" on some adjustment or tweak, to get where it should be to 'look right.' I have, on many occasions, delved through my files of these, when Lightroom does an update, that includes expanded editing techniques...

  4. Tony Tulloch definitely! Maybe just settle for how the look now and revisit them later? Possibly tweak one's eye ;)

  5. Oshi Shikigami agreed, in the case of the Hawk above our air is quite dry at around 1500m above sea level in winter here so vapor on the wings are rare. When you get an image with some fluff you want it to be a keeper! I'm too far behind to go back though ;)
