Now let me know honestly any pointers would be great as I stated Pic is taken with an N96 and not a DSLR or any Pro style camera for that matter.
So go on do your worst or best feedback and criticism welcomed

Updated think I uploaded the same pic twice

I was going to say that, they both look the same to me?

[Possy_99]

So Aperture is an application? I had no idea........what is it and what's it supposed to do?

*edit* Forget that, I can see it's an Apple app.

The 2nd shot is better in the blender pics, I can't really tell the dif in the first one to be honest. I'd try and get a better pic so you've got something cool to work with

Try something with a bit more colour maybe so that you've got something a bit more interesting to work with? Have a look at my flickr account, most of the pics on there are taken on my camera phone. http://www.flickr.com/photos/liveseytowers/

Photoshop is photoshop on a mac or PC, Aperture is in the same league as Lightroom. They are both RAW processing programs.

Photoshop CS4 is defo available for the MAC, just looked on Adobe website now. You can buy the full version for just over £550.
