Amateur Diploma collection starts to build for the Wildlife Section
The above image is part of the diploma catalogue that I am currently working on for final submission to my Tutor. The image, taken with the Sigma 300mm -800mm f5.6 lens is part of a series of this animal. I have chosen this one as a favourite due to it’s composition and simplicity to view. The image throws the viewer to the obvious point of interest, providing both foreground and background and tends to leave the viewer in the image for that little bit longer. Adjustments were made to the original RAW file in LR2 and then it was edited in PS CS4, with adjustments to the curves, levels and contrast. To prevent too much of a distraction a filter was added to the top left hand side of the image blendng in just enough to avoid distraction to the main subject of the frame, the rotation and transition of this was important to be able to get the final image print I wanted.
The other images that form part of my final submissions will be posted here along with the workflow I have used.
