You want brutal? Well here it is: All you need to do is reduce the blowout on the whites. If you have lightroom, this is easy to do. If you have photoshop, open as camera raw and do it from there. Other than that, it is a great pic. Brutal enough? Lol.
Perfect! I have Picasa and am learning GIMP so I'll work on it. THANK YOU!
Nice horse.......
Your slight adjustment is quite subtle
Adjust about that much more and try it.
I get caught up in the emotion of the expression of the horse and all animals. I am not a pro so can't critique but I love the picture.
Ok, honestly. I am teary eyed.
You have a good composition, the horse is set apart form the background and the shot is in focus. I think I'd like to see just a little more depth of field. It is, as Tainkc pointed out, over exposed.
Blown out highlights are nearly impossible to recover. You can reduce the areas around them, but can't fix the white spot without cloning from other areas.
Thank you everyone! I've started a 365 Project and cannot wait to see what a year will bring. Thank you again. Your help is always appreciated!
Hi, Steve,
Good to see you!
I really like the image and especially its composition, but I’m pretty sure that your exposure exceeded your camera’s sensor’s dynamic range, meaning, basically, the whites on the horse’s face and that damned blotch of white in the background are overexposed to the extent that all highlight detail is unrecoverable.I’d bet that your camera’s histogram would have revealed that characteristic bright spike at the right end that is the camera’s way of shouting “TIME OUT….OVEREXPOSURE.
I love the shot, but s—- happens! Been there, done that, and learned from it
It’s nice to see you back here and surely hope to hear and see more from you!
Best regards,
Dave
