The highlight area has been dodged with a 12% exposure and blurred a tiny bit to blend. I brought out more of the background with the burn tool, again at a very low percentage.
And, yes, tightened the crop which is not part of the "not legal" work.
I had done this at the same time as the one submitted so I could see if I could anticipate some of the comments that would be made and I was spot on.
Except I didn't change the over all lighting to brighten it, which I also expected, as I like the underexposed treatment.
thanks guys. |
