The lower picture looks underexposed, and the camera said so too. However, because of the low lighting contrast the image responded well to increasing 'levels' in editing, and with rich highlights. Highlights are often burned out in digital images. This picture was a little 'snatched' at the end of a session, but the composition gave me more pleasure than usual - with a little added to the top. Of course, improving on nature's attempt to produce art was required, as the top result shows. Don't you agree.Composition? The main subjects are placed - by cropping and extension - so that the frame is filled without anything important being central. The distances between the flowers and the border are deliberate to avoid any strong sense of placement. often 'bleeding' (off the edge) of important elements is used for the same reason, providing this is also deliberate.
Nice photo shopping. And I rather like the dreamy evening quality of the original, as well. The new blog template looks nice! I used this one, as well, and rather like it.
ReplyDeleteI realized I left that comment with the profile that links to my other blog. This one links to Willow Manor.
ReplyDeleteThanks Willow, I was worried how a low-key image would show on other monitors, but my first edits were murky. There is so much unexpected beauty to find in the digital image, to link this with words is my next dream. To mask a sad reality.
ReplyDeleteI like the digital one especially the background.
