This particular photo didn't turn out so well, so I am going to show the original version (from the camera) and the improved version from a graphics manipulation tool:
Original:
Improved:
I am not an image manipulation guru, so I'll just list the basic steps that I took:
Adjusted histogram levels to maximize dynamic range
Adjusted white balance and saturation
Sharpened the whole image
Created a false shallow depth-of-field using a blur tool
Removed some distracting background stuff in upper left corner
Most of the images on this blog are not modified much. I'll only spend a few minutes working on the image, if it's especially bad from the camera. Usually all of the problems are caused by hand-holding the camera and shooting under "warm" compact fluorescent light.
