Looming

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 16 April 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

This is my favourite image I've produced, as opposed to the best pic I've taken, in quite a while, as the original shot was pretty weak (as can be seen here!). I had a good idea of what I wanted to produce from it, and I'm really happy with the results, especially with the looming trees in the background. I'm just hoping it looks as good on everyone elses screens, as it's quite dark and I know shots look different on different monitors.

Also, out of curiousity, I used the legacy option when altering the brightness and contrast in PS on this shot. It worked out well, but I'm still not sure of the exact function of this option. Can anyone explain it to me?

Due to the fact that I'll be working on site in Scotland for the forseeable future, I probably won't be able to respond to comments straight away, but will try my best, and will definitely get back to you eventually!

As always, feedback and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!
