Hi all this month theme is almost over so thought i would put one last in the ring .Maybe i have a chance .........
Image was taken in a secret place in Africa .
Canon EOS 1D MKIV
EF 500 IS L
Window bracket
F 8 ; Iso 250 ; 1/400 sec
Processed with DPP 4 and PS CC ; cropped for comp ; image was already well exposed to the right without blowing the HL , most was done with dodging and some lumo masks .
Thanks for watching and leaving comment to my previous thread
Lovely scene and great textures, I think I would love to see this one in standard colour. A seeing a bit of motion blur on the head? It doesn't look as sharp as the rest of the body.
Ooohps Dumay , thanks for your feedback and your well seen point regarding sharpness .
I just forgot capture sharpening in first place and i also used a different output sharpening , used the settings for another but different image .
Hi Andreas - I sort of like this as a high key image but would also like to see the "standard" image as well. I like the image design/comp. Agree with Dumay on the sharpening.
Love the colour version more! Comp is great, OP looked a bit washed-out to me, RP has great colours and the sharpness is there, good framing and presentation Mr B.E.!!!!
Thanks folks for your feedback , much appreciated .
For sure the RP has more punch and impact , specially when compared in on thread , not fair for the OP , and i was really thinking if do this .
Each HK image will look washed out when compared to a "normal" processed /exposed image , i think only when the content is that great that it overcomes the flatness , well this is just my view .
I actually also like the color version more , but keeping the luminance as is , because light was already very bright at that location with the whitish sand .
I cannot see this one as a HK image at all, only as a nice B&W version or the normal color. All said already above about the HK, well the ones who like it I just disagree
That has nothing to do with sharpness or any, it just do not suit here, ... for me!!!
