Thanks for the helpful (very!) comments, Everyone. I had done a similar photo a few years ago (picnic table, early morning, checkered cloth) that came out better. You nailed all the flaws of this version on the head.
I missed the part about it being a "Stock" shot until it was too late - and then, rushed to make the deadline. No excuses - just an explanation. :>] Good learning experience! Thank you. K |
