Hi Vishnu,

You exercised a good choice of camera to fence and fence to subject distances, plus and focal length and aperture used, when you captured this. The 'pose' is also good and framing not bad - ideally I might have allowed a little more space behind it (i.e. on left).

However, this could, and arguably should, be post processed to make a much better image.

The foreground fence you had to shoot though is sufficiently blurred as to be little more than a pale haze across the image - so this could be lessened significantly with adept post processing (PP).

I don't know what software you have though, so it won't help for me to guess.

HTH, Dave

Hi, Vishnu. I downloaded a copy of your image and opened it in PS Elements 9. I took the liberty of using the levels command to stretch the brightness histogram by adjusting the black-, grey-, and white-points of your image. I've posted your image with those corrections below. I am confident that you can make other improvements in the image with more post-processing. I hope this gives you a starting point. (If you would rather not have the image I adjusted appear in your thread, please let me know and I will remove it with my apologies.)

+1 for Randy's PP.

Thanks Dave, Binnur & Maurice.

I don't like to shoot through a fence and will often choose not to do that. However, when I do, I will use my longest focal length at the widest aperture and focus right on the subject. The shallow DOF will frequently mask the wire of the fence from obvious view...

Dear Sir,
Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I used the CAPTURE NX-D software to process the RAW image.

Dear Sir,
you done perfect. Thanks for it. I will join the course to learn the PS so that I could also do same processing like u did. Thanks once again.

Thanks for suggestion. I will keep your suggestion for next time shoot.

You're welcome, Vishnu. I suggest that you try to improve the image that I performed the "Levels" correction on. Make of copy of the image and try to improve it by performing different adjustments using the post- processing software you have. That's a good way to learn, in my opinion.

Touching the lens against the fence will alleviate the problems with the fence.
