fixed the crop in the first one. better?

i picked the bottom crop because with more 'headroom' on the top of the image it throws the whole image a little off balance. it though this was the most comfortable crop to look at.. no?

Just the symmetry? What about the endangered polar bear on an escalator

Thanks for commenting on the blog. Hope most readers haven't found it evident that I've started shortening the stories back to just key points from the day. I'm glad the fact that I'm diligent, it helps out with my poor writing skills.

Exactly what I use both for

Lightroom - Control light, adjust image to proper exposure and WB
Photoshop - Clone, masks, gradients, re-invent the colour wheel

Where did you guys learn how to use photoshop and lightroom? or was it just a trial and error type of thing. You guys got any good links?

There are a lot of good free tutorials on the internet. I go to www.planetphotoshop.com quite often for some cool tutorials, but I'm also taking courses for it too which I find I've learned way more than just learning from tutorials online. But that's just me. Some people will disagree...

Edit is better in a way that it's brighter, but I think the highlights in the hat are a bit blown out. I think.

A little better, but the yellow/green is still noticeable from the incandescent house lamp.

Here's my edit.
I upped the blue, dropped the red and green. I found that the highlights weren't as bright as they should be (but this is just a general preference as I like to push to a cleaner white)
