Don't dump the bad image is it makes a statement for you.

While in India, I came across a truck full of people all jammed in together. It was an iconic image of transportation in India. However, the resulting image just did't cut it for me. I rarely delete rather save and experiment.

Here is the original image.



You get the  idea of "compressed" but it just didn't have punch. From my point of view there was no need for colour ... it was all about shape. So I used post-processing .. some single image  HDR EFX pro and Silver EFX Pro to make the statement I saw.


Does it work for you? You see, others don't necessarily see what you see. If you have an image that you think is "significant", show it so someone and ask them "what is this image all about? If they don't come up with what you want them to see, you will either need to re-shoot (which I could not do) or work in post processing. 

Have fun and experiment.
