A shot of an american robin singing away on a cold, windy, drizzly morning. I went more heavy handed on my editing this one than I usually do. Playing around with tinting the highlights and shadows. Wanted to keep the shadows cold and blue, but tint the highlights orange and warm since it's a robin singing not a crow, raven or vulture lurking in the shadows . I've included my edit and the original out of camera shot. Looking for thoughts and input. Did I go too far, not far enough, the complete wrong direction? Thanks for you thoughts.
What about bring up the shadows just on the Robin? I think it would draw more attention to the subject of the image.
I could be wrong...perhaps.
Thanks for the input. I did bring them up some, but any more and it really started to fall apart. Just not enough info there. I changed the color or the orange a bit per a suggestion in another group. I think it helps the bring it out a little more.
Yes...I see now the loss of information. Any chance you can coax the sky to return and the Robin to turn a little more for a re-shoot?
I'll shoot both Mother Nature and the robin a text and see what I can get set up. ;)
