some of you may have noticed that I quite like "Head shots"
so I thought that I would start a thread, that I hope you will join in, to discuss such
two from last night - not particularly good because they are large crops, but they should start the thread off
what I always do, (because they are large crops), is to reduce the background noise - the free Define 2 is good, then get rid of any almost blown white, (if you blow the whites on head shots they become too dominant and the shot is no good), work on the eye a little and sometimes smooth the edges, (I feel that strong "digital edges are really noticeable)
anyway here are my first two - please join in and add comments
Green finch - always messy eaters
lacks a bit of sharpness this image ...... I have not added much sharpness
