Leopard

[DaveG]

Taken while on Safari in Kenya.

Just as our bus started to move away from the tree, an opening appeared and he looked at me. No time to adjust settings so this was underexposed, but was shooting in raw so managed to bring it up a bit.

That is just fantastic and there is way more impact left in there wating to come out too with some potatochopery. :icon_cool

Spend some time on that Dave and see if you can bring out his colours with selective saturation adjustment etc.

Nice start and looking forward to the next stages!

This picture is good enough to warrant some time being spent on it to bring out the best.

As this was shot in RAW I would definately re-process it twice, once for the leopard and once for the highlights then combine the two versions in either PSP or Photoshop. If you don't know how to do that check out the tutorials section as both ways are covered.

I'll see what I can do. I think I will continue this in the new digital manipulation forum and return here with the finished article :)
