| Workshop Note |
Hi Alejandro, how's it going? I did a workshop on your picture.
In the source pic the subject has been flashed-flat. As a result, colors of both the owl and branch are slightly washed out. Ofcourse if in this difficult situation the intelligent (and expensive !) iTTL-flash system had been used, a slightly better lighting and imaging of the subject would have been accomplished.
In this workshop therefore, I simulated by means of Post-Processing, exactly how the owl would have looked if the more advanced iTTL-flash system had been used.
Technique:
Quality-check; background denoised -selected, despeckled and brightness lowered (-10) to compensate for the noisy operation of the ISO-400 setting of this particular digital camera in complete darkness; foreground (subject) selected and processed for brightness/contrast-levels with slight color-correction; slightly more sharpened (USM); red-eye reduction -left eye only, to correct for (red-)eye symmetry (selected, R-channel attenuated).
(for best comparison, please compare side-by-side)
I hope this may be helpful.
Greetings, Dimitri.
