Wild Boar Burger - Before and After

So, I was asked to show a before and after of a shot I did thats on my portfolio page. I had posted up there earlier but wasn't happy with the post processing. I thought it would also be educational to see a straight up RAW image out of the camera, and a post-production images as well. Let me know what y'all think!

Here is the post over in my portfolio for more technical information.

Wow, much more minimal than I expected. The composition is what sold me it looks like! I definitely agree with your final edit than the original, even though the original is already having a very solid foundation.

Chris, Thank you!!! I try to get as close as I can in camera. I think the difference is mood, the final, looks like it belongs in some editorial on wild game burgers.

Either as an editorial review of the burger itself or the establishment serving it, or it could actually work very well as an advertising full spread shot too.

Very creative and attention grabbing for sure!

Great concept and a very cool photo. Bizarre yet fitting. I think that overall you handled the shoot well, but it might need a little more pop to make it suit the edgy, intense look. Perhaps some smoke around the sides/behind the burger could add some mystery? Then you'd see the nose, the eye, and hints of the boar's fur which would make things seem a little more dangerous.

Great suggestions!
