32 Sep 23 Reply I like that rendition better, high contrast mkes the image more "gritty" which does suit the subject matter. Sep 26th
32 Sep 23 Comment Jennifer, Thanks. Unfortunately on most safaris you cannot get out of the vehicle, you can climb on the seat and gain some hieght, but it does limit shooting angles! No w getting a ladder into the vehicle is something I have not thought of or seen someone do <grin>. To me all post processing is a challenge, but usually I have a pre-concieved idea of what I want. Often I can get the software to get me there (or close), often it is a fight to try to get the sofware to do what I want, but that maybe a reflection of my limited skills with Photoshop! Regards

32 Sep 23 Reply Soft light and Pin light are the only two I use, very occasionally hard light mybe useful. The rest are for people who do extreme edits, I like to stick to a realistic image! Sep 14th
32 Sep 23 Comment Hi Tom, I went into black and White and played around with the color channels, to get the foliage darker spilling into the boat and tried to increase the gradation of greys. See if you like it. Sep 10th
32 Sep 23 Comment I might have tried adding a vignette to make the out of focus flower on the right less distracting and also darken the peripheral parts of the bright stem. Just an idea worth trying.

32 Sep 23 Comment I rather like Candice's crop as the top of the stair railng sort of natural end to the eye sweeping up.I might have tried to heal or clone out the bits of rubbish lying on the stairs, to give it a cleaner look. Sep 10th

32 Sep 23 Comment I think I used "soft light" Sep 10th
32 Sep 23 Reply Wes, thanks, I had shot this already knowing that I would probably use a 16:9 crop (enhances the idea of the animal looking into the distasnce) and use it as a mono. I was looking at some images on insta before going to Kenya and some of the work of David Lloyd were really inspiring. So as I was shooting, I was thinking of what would make a good mono shot, something I have not done usually on wildlife trips.

Although, I have later converted some wildlife images to mono. So to me both approaches work.

32 Sep 23 Comment Stephen,

I appreciate your POV, I just like the idea of using a shallow depth of field to make the antelope stand out. But as you say, it is personal preference. A shot at f 9.0 or thereabouts would have given an entirely different effect.
