Well I have an assessment for the term for my year 9 Digital Photography class and we needed to take a good picture, edit it and make it really nice. I am at the top of the class and i want it to stay that way. So i made my image as best as i can. Here it is http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1248758342&size=l

I want to know what you think..

Oh and also please tell me what I can change aswell.

And also incase your wondering there was no Mirroring used in this image the water was just like glass.

I have an olympus C760 digital camera and was thinking of geting an underwater case for snorkelling and have realised that the inbuilt popup flash cannot be used with the housing.

Is a flash necessary for this type of underwater photography.
The flash accessory costs a LOT!

Thanks

Volunteering for the local shelter to do some photographs of the pets they have in for their website. Any advice for taking picture of pets? What is more appealing to people.... action shots, cuddle shots, close ups? Should I attempt to capture personality or should I keep the photos standard so people can come in and gauge the personality on their own?

But my problem is, what should I use to restore it so the color will last and I can hang it for display for many years to come.

I am 32 years old married woman. I am M.A., B. Ed., and Ph. D. I have seven years experience of teaching also but now this job is not giving me proper satisfaction and I want to change my career line. Actually I am an extremely creative person and I have a passion for art. I am really fond of drawing, painting, music, writing (poems, songs, stories, dramas, short plays and articles), handicraft making and such types of activities. People really appreciate me for the same and especially for my canvas oil paintings. This is my god given talent and you can say I am a born artist. I have a unique imagination power and a great sense of colour, structure and pattern. It is my keen desire to make a brilliant career in the field of art and painting but unfortunately I don't have any professional degree, diploma and even a short term course certificate of the same. Can you help me in this regard? How should I start my art career? Is it essential for me to join some courses? Can I start my career without a professional degree? I am a middle class person and I have so many responsibilities still I'll do everything to make my career as an artist. Please let me know according to my age and situation which are the cheap and best course suitable for me? I really need your help and guidance in this regard.

I have difficulty finding photos on My Pictures. How can I see them all at My Pictures? Why is Picassa better than My Pictures for seeing photos that are on the hard drive?

Many times people come here and ask, "What's a good lens for scenic photography?" They get the standard answer that pretty much says, "The wider, the better." Yes, I admit that 12-24 is a "classic" scenery lens, but is that the only answer?

Here's a new composite that I made for consideration in this question. I didn't spend hours getting rid of the haze, so I apologize for that, but that's not the point of this exercise.

These shots are of a fire fighting effort on the South end of Reno Nevada. The area is called Rattlesnake Mountain.

I really don't know if I want them or not. To tell you the truth I think I look horrible in any pictures, regardless if it's professional or not. Even if I did decide to get senior pictures I don't really have anything really special to wear and nothing cool to put in the pictures. I also have not so great a smile and feel even though I would smile and they would photoshop my braces out I still am weary. I'm also concerned about money, my father passed away about 3 years ago and I've always held myself back from things because I'm worried about money since my mom is a single working mom. I'm really conflicted. T_T
