Open to Interpretation

Posted by Hayley Flint-ahern on the Big Photo Hunt community board.

This image was a challenge. To shoot and then in editing. Fellow big photo hunter @Norman Dean pointed out some interesting elements in the editing that he rightly thought could be improved.

I really appreciate any feedback and advice from the BPH Community it’s such a positive experience as I am very much without a photography community in real life.

I actually feel the raw image is better than the edit I entered this week, I actually processed this years ago so I’m super excited to be prompted to look back beyond those old edits and at the raw images.

So thinking constructively I’ve found the raw image and in the interest of creative challenge I’d love to see how you would edit this image.

Also big thanks to @Ken Deckinger for adding the photo comment, I’m super intrigued to see if anyone feels inspired and creates something fun.

Hi I really like your image I hope you don’t mind, I used a screen grab so was limited to what I was working with but essentially adjusted the exposure and tweaked the blacks whites and clarity slightly to bring out some contrast and to bring out the attention on the subject then a slight vignette to isolate the subject against the brighter parts of the background I then used a warming of the colour temp and a boost slightly with vibrancy and saturation with finally a slight crop from the right to remove a little of the tree so again more focus on the bird, hope you like the edit thanks for sharing
