hi i will be in a photo contest and had intended to submit this picture but before i submit it i would like to hear what you have to say about it and if there is something i should change to make it better. thanks in advance.
First one is the edited one and the other is raw from the camera
I saw it in contest and said ... funny ears ..
You might add contrast brightness.
Unfortunately it was shoot in shade
Hi Nicky,
This is a beautiful image. very nicely executed. Without knowing the topic of the competition or the rules, it is hard to give suggestions. So - this input it strictly my thoughts having judged photo contests but they may be appropriate or not.
This would make it to a final cut and then would struggle because it needs drama. This is a beautiful lion with a lazy expression in a relaxing pose. If you want to submit this image i would recommend playing with the lighting to create drama.
See some ideas here - just quick edits for dramatic lighting. If you don't go this route, I would recommend cropping the back out as her posture looks odd.
I hope this helps and god luck!
Thank you for all the tips and i will try some out. it is just a simpel sumit a wildlife photo to have a change to win free night at a safari lodge. But i like your input and will try it out tonight
