It seems fairly quiet on this board, so hopefully I am not being too tedious posting yet another image from my sequence with this Walrus in Svalbard.
I think some will find that the image is too tight top and bottom, but that is the way I like it, so please humour me on that!
The image was shot with my Sony A9 II and FE 200-600 at 600mm. Shutter speed 1/1000 sec at f/9.0, ISO 1250
I found the PP quite challenging on this image - trying to get the fur right - it is very patchy - bare in places, greying in others; some parts wet and some dry. The Walrus had been laying on the ice and lifted itself up to move to the water.
In Lightroom, I have adjusted the WB overall warming up slightly for less blue snow. Some additional Exposure and opened shadows and applied a radial gradient to lighten the area under the chest. Point Color was used to slightly desaturate the pink on the skin. Masks used to selectively adjust face and eye.
In PS I have re-sized the image and applied USM for output.
Hopefully you will find the image interesting and I look forward top receiving your thoughts and comments.
