Well, the exposure is too dark and it's over saturated with blue, shoot in raw and adjust the white balance properly. The photo isn't very sharp also, maybe you didn't use a tripod.

WOW! Your good! LOL! I didnt use a tripod. I havent found one I like that isnt $500. Im very new to this stuff. I only used a free download photo editer. The camera is a Sony Alpha 300 with the stock lens kit. Could you edit it to make it look better?

Thanks

I bought a $60 tripod, it works just fine. It's not the lightest or slickest, but it works just fine. I don't think you need to spend $500 to hold your camera up.

No I can't edit it and make it better cause of the poor lighting, over saturated actinics, and poor exposure. If you shot in raw, perhaps I can make the white balance a little better, that's about it.

I suggest you read some photography basics tutorials, free online.

Because you ask what can be done with your photo here is some Photoshop edit.

Do you have the original photo still on your pc? If so let me know and I'll pm you my email address so I can get it. I'd do a better job with the original than the posted one.

Email sent.

Here is the original pic for anyone else that wants to try.

Thanks

Trying to edit such a small photo is a waste of time. To properly edit you should start with the origional file with resizing covering the final step before sharpening.
