Setting Contrast & Frame

Hello Sheriff,
I have increased the contrast & adjusted brightness through MS Office Picture Manager. Subsequently inserted picture into power point to give it frame & finally brought down the pixel by PIXresizer. Hope you like the re-configuration.

Contrast & Brightness Adjustment

Hi Sheriff,
I have changed it's contrast & brightness through MS Picture Manager & finally given it an oval frame through power point. This looks little different though it has cut down the background from the side corners to make the buffalo bull more prominent. Hope you appreciate the change in the original configuration.
Regards-Subhash Ranjan

Hi Sheriff

Sorry I did not make it last night, but here is that promised workshop.

As I said, this photo is perfectly fine and the only nits are PP issues which can be easily rectified.

Post Processing done:
1. Determined the ‘Black & White’ points with the ‘Threshold Tool’.
2. Set the ‘B&W’ points with the ‘Levels Tool’.
3. Selected only the dark shady areas on the buffalo and in ‘Color Variations’ clicked 2x on ‘Lighten’ at 50% setting.
4. Selected the complete buffalo and in ‘Color Variations’ clicked 1x on ‘Darken’ at 50% setting.
5. Still in ‘Color Variations’ selected ‘Highlights’ and clicked 1x at 50% setting then I selected ‘Shadows’ and clicked 1x on ‘Darken’ at 50% setting.
6. With the buffalo still selected I applied ‘USM’ at 300%, 0.3 & 0 settings.

The levels adjustment did enough for the BG and it brought out the colour saturation and contrast needed. I hope you like the enhancement and I think it just proved my original opinion that it is a perfectly fine photo.

Friendly regards
Loot

Hi Sheriff,
I reduced highlights 25%, and added a bit of blur to the BG..

Hi Sheriff. I really like the composition of your photo with the space on the left where the Kingfisher is facing. I've just cropped the top space off to put more focus on the beautiful bird. I've also increased the contrast and sharpness a bit and then blurred the background. I hope you like it :)

I cropped out some of the blurry branch I didn't like, the a touch of contrast added, and +6 hue saturation. Then I used the sharpening brush just of the parts of his feathers I thought needed it and the branch. I hope you like the result.
