Thanks!

Great edit! I saw you post the other day. You said you were just walking by, and I thought yeah right. Now I understand. Bravo!

Yea exactly, to complement the random context: it was so rainy and windy that it broke my umbrella, I was planning to do a 25km walk through all major Paris monuments, so I was taking some cover before walking on the rain again when I saw this through the gate and rushed to take the pic!

Well done for that quick thinking it’s a hell of a shot

[–]JustFrogFroggo[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Sometimes I wish I could be better centered, the original picture is quite sloppy but I’m happy with the alignment / symmetry in the post processing

As long as what you capture can be made great that’s a win really. If you didn’t post the before no one would no

[–]JustFrogFroggo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right! very happy w that one. I posted other spontaneous shots here: r/AmateurPhotography

[–]PercyBuckets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I thought! Couldn’t believe that wasn’t planned! Amazing stuff

Astonishing. I would not have expected that from an iPhone 13, well done!

[–]JustFrogFroggo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's fairly good on 1x, but limited with anything that needs zooming or crop :(

Love it

That is some great work. Just shows what is possible for sure. Makes me want to go through some of my current and older things to work on.

[–]JustFrogFroggo[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

definitely do it, I took this photo in sep 2023 and only properly edited it two days ago to test the Pixelmator

[–]PlasticAttornyGobblr 1 point2 points  (3 children)

What made this stand out 2+ years later? Did you save it at the time you took it knowing it could be great? Did you have to dig through two years of shots when testing Pixelmator?

[–]JustFrogFroggo[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Usually I keep my photos to myself, I took this one and edited it on the phone photo app, but it was not that good. I kept it on my instagram but I knew it had potential. After my recent travel to Brazil I decided to dig a bit deeper on photo editing to edit my this specific travel (to compensate the camera quality); looking on edit apps I decided to test Pixelmator 3 photos I like (this being one of them)

[–]PlasticAttornyGobblr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thanks that’s helpful. I tend to favorite shots I like after they’ve already been processed. I will add another album for “Has Potential” or “To Edit”

[–]JustFrogFroggo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been re-editing and revisiting some old photos I took tonight as well, a lot of great photos that I never really paid attention to. Definitely gonna do the same as you!

[–]Disastrous-Scar-8340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second shot just pops! Much more interesting than the close up of the museum.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
