Buckets of flowers, a photo from Malaga, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

I only discovered when I had the film processed that there was a major problem with the metering. Everything was being over exposed by about 2 stops. This shot has been rescued by PSP. It was taken in an alleyway in the old part of Marbella. I'd be most interested to know what people think of the rescue job and any suggestions for improving the result.

Interesting picture. DOF seems to be backwards.

Excellent composition but could be better if all the pots are in perfect sharpness. Your rescue job is perfect if you haven't said that it was overexposed, I would have not noticed it.

I like the subject, but I'm a bit unsure about the framing - the buckets and window are all either cut, out of the sharp focus region, or overlapping. With a steep angle like this, I think you needed to choose just one bucket/window as the subject, frame it carefully, and make the rest secondary.

It's grainy, but I don't see the overexposure.

Really good picture and ps-work! Like someone else wrote, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have noticed it.

I like this shot it's composition and the many pots hanging these on the white wall.Beyond the overexposure remians (not that significant..) I'd widen the DOF as possible and in any case fucus on the closer pots.
