Play with Color

Don't be afraid to experiment with colors and by that I don't mean that you have to emulate Andy Warhol. Image editing programs put a lot of power in your hands. You can make the leaves purple, change the entire photo to black and white, add a sepia effect - almost anything you want. A good photo editing program will have automatic color balance options to adjust color defects in your pictures.

Rotate and Crop

If you've taken a photo in a wrong orientation, it's easily corrected with little loss in quality by using a rotate tool. You'll also want to do some cropping of your photo to remove cluttered surroundings that draw attention away from your subject. For example, I find cropping very useful if my subject is occupying only the middle portion of the photograph. Cut away the two sides of the picture and you have a much more professional look.

Remove Red-Eye

If you're taking photos of people, chances are you may have taken a photo with red-eye problems. This is easily removed with image editing software. In Paint Shop Pro, select the Red-Eye Removal tool in the menu and voila, the program does all the work for you. In Ulead PhotoImpact, there's an equivalent tool called Remove Red Eye in the Tool Panel.

Hope at the end...

Light at the end of the road... This shot is simply espectacular, I want to be in that street just to be able to see the bright end. The best black and withe picture I have seen in a while, what do you think?

Plain but complicated

This picture seems to be plain but it makes me think so much that I end up realizing that it's truly complicated. I truly wonder what the photographer was thinking when he or she took it...

What you can't see...

O just found a series of black and white impressive pictures that I will be posting this days... You just gotta see it, they say things to me that I can't really see, do you know what I mean? oh well, you will see, I am not crazy yet lol. I just love photographers that can trasmit things to me.

Greta Garbo

I just love the Golden Age of Hollywood and its movie stars! don't you?  how can they every look like that! so perfect, I mean you gotta have something special to look like that when photoshop was out of the map right? amazing...

Kid's portrait

Some children are just beautiful. Some have incredible personalities. Some a combination of the two and it reflects, in some manner, in photographs. Here, we have a little girl around 6 years old. While shy, she was willing to be posed. And,actually, this is a posed photograph. A good photograph of a person cannot, necessarily, be one without a little posing. With children, however, posing is not natural. Their pureness generally comes out when you capture them in the moment; when you wait for their cues. However, an older child, such as this young lady, may be able to combine posing and capturing the moment in one

AMAZING!

This picture simply has it all, life (look at those horses!), death (I mean the green is killed by the beautiful snow), peace, it makes you feel... It's kinda unique, Admire it and ENJOY IT!

White Balance

You may have spotted the lightbulb, cloud, electricity and woodshed symbols on your camera’s screen or menus. You may have also ignored them as being yet another degree of complexity that you don’t need to know about. Alternatively, you may have seen people on the Internet earnestly discussing colour temperature and swearing by all sorts of essential products that will guarantee perfect results, if you remortgage your house this one last time. And ignored it as another expense that you can probably do without. Well that thing you’re ignoring is one of the most powerful ways of making your photos convey the scene you wanted to capture: white balance (you will find the rest of this interesting post there :))
