Hello from the critique club
An appealing image that nearly meets the challenge
I can see where you’re going with this Marcel but it doesn’t quite get there for a couple of reasons. Your subject has a full tonal range which is what you want for a ‘normal’ image, however, for the challenge brief you would have been better to specifically choose a subject with a narrower tonal range. Your exposure is not helping you either, if you had underexposed it you would have had data in all areas that you could have manipulated further to reduce the contrast, as it is your sky and various small areas of the image are overexposed and completely lacking any information that could be manipulated. Even a recomposition excluding the sky and less exposure could have got you nearer to a lower contrast result but thanks for your brave attempt. |
