Another stag shot from Richmond. I wanted to take a head shot but still wanted to keep the full antlers in shot. I tried to use the blurry trees to frame the face

I chose a title of contemplation for this thoughtful stag. The words 'meditation' and 'contemplation' are often confused. Contemplation is not meditation.

Contemplation is an act of thought, whereas meditation occurs when thought ceases and the division between you and all else fades. With contemplation rather than gloss over a matter, you commit time to deliberately think it through thoroughly and completely.

I balance the pixels out more across the entire tonal range with levels. The then added 10% to shadows, and 5% to highlights. +10 of saturation, and a very slight additional sharpening in smart sharpen.
