"Tiger, Tiger burning bright...." William Blake. I know it is a lioness, the reference is to the eyes in the first photo. Really like it!
Thank you im glad that you like it 👍🏻
For a CC.. Hope you don't mind but I like doing photos just to show whats in my head.. it is of course only my eye.
It looks like you wanted to really isolate the subject, this is good but I felt too much contrast was used you lost some outline detail of this beautiful animal. I worked with your out of camera file and came up with the following. Adjustments: Contrast, green color shift to yellow like you did, brought saturation down, dodged the eyes using three layers (normal dodge, limited second dodge set to soft light, and a b/w layer for cat-eye-liner :) )
Okay, I did two.. In the second image I modified your final version. Brought the contrast down, lowered the saturation a bit and added a little sharpness.
One is a soft representation, and the other, a more gritty version.
Beautiful animal, and your very brave if you took this in the wild. :)
Thank you for tips i will think on this on the next edit :)
I like your edit of my pic👍🏻
Yes this is in the wild. Its taken in serengeti np
