Photoshop - Global Warming vs. The Capitol
When all else fails, and the picture you've just taken is only "good", then you can easily make up for it in Photoshop. For example. Late in 2008, I was exiting a museum in Washington, DC when I snapped a pretty typical picture of the Capitol with a grey sky backdrop. People, cars, and pets moving back and forth in the foreground made this shot a fairly typical one. You could say it was only "good". I decided to make a few simple adjustments to move it up one level to "interesting". By adding water effects and a rainbow gradient fill in separate layers, the composition was altered with the results shown below. The message in this image is now quite different. If I were to label this photo, I would title it "Global Warming 1, World 0"
