canuckamuck Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Very nice, beach photos are not as easy as they look, good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeincnx Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Very nice, beach photos are not as easy as they look, good job Thanks. It was the worst time of day to take a beach shot, about 1 or 2 in the afternoon. So I adjusted the area of the dog (face, etc.) in CS3 using both levels and curves adjustments on a duplicate layer, then pulling the changes through with a layer mask.

Sure. Here is the straight from RAW file to a CS3 'save for web' jpeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumidesign Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) the difference lost on me Edited May 25, 2009 by Kan Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeincnx Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Zoom in to see the difference. I pulled the face and shoulders area of the dog out from of the umbrella shadow, though less than 25% in the post version. If it was overdone it would have looked unnatural.

bkkjames Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 good image... for me, i would crop it tighter (see below). IMO, the photo says, "I wanna play too" and taking it in tight keeps my eye from wandering to the other side of the umbrella and tubes and fully places the emphasis on the little dog in the shade looking out at the boy in the water. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
