Hello Everyone,
I am back with something a little different. Not sure if it qualifies as an OOTB image though, if so the moderators are more than welcome to delete this thread:)
The scene was captured in low light and the underexposed BG was "inviting" me to do some rather extreme PP work. I also had to eliminate some man made elements which I did not quite like, such as the waterhole this lion was approaching. We are experiencing extreme drought in this area for many months - a majority of rivers, dams and waterholes have already dried up. Some of the private game reserves have to provide water for animals as no natural sources are available.
Anyway, so here I played with exposure, curves, levels and saturation. My workflow a bit boring perhaps, but I still hope you'll like this nice lion male and his swinging tail:)
Warmest regards, thanks so much for having me here:tinysmile_shy_t:
