I am not sure about this shoot.
The shoot was underesposed to make a blak background...but the light is on the face...but what you think about ?
Canon Mark IV
Cano 300 f.2,8
1/2500
iso 640
f.7,1
Thanks
Hi Giovanni, I like the concept, but on my screen I can still see a lot of details in the 'black' background, which is distracting. Maybe using the black point dropper in levels/curves you can fix the background.
Love the idea , and the execution is very good . Agree with Geoff on the distractions . The original needed sharpening too .
Have attempted a quick rework using fast stone , on an uncallibrated monitor . Do let me know if it works .
Based on your original, I would go for either a version with enough light in the background, as the hoopoe leaving the barrel is interesting too, or a fully black background version. You shouldn't need to clone much for those options, just adjust the exposure/black point appropriately. Rakesh's repost is much closer to the fully black background, and personally I find the image a bit TOO black in this case, so would vote for a colour option.
