This is much better - excellent composition and great soft lighting. The light is a little dark but this is SOOOO much better.
You have a great shot here - I took the liberty of doing just a little post processing to show you how a shot can be taken. Please note that I am not very good at this PP myself, but you can get the idea of what photoshop elements can even do in the hands of a hack!
Levels adjustment - brightened image in mid range
Brighness/contrast - increased brightness and contrast slightly
Hue/Saturation - individual channels - increased reds a little, decreased yellow, increased cyan to +50 to bring out eyes.
Sharpened image using Filters--Sharpen --unsharp mask - 85, 0.5,0

MUCH better!! You can see the kitty's eye colour (beautiful). Do you have any kind of editing software? The kitty is a hair dark and could use a slight levels (light) adjustment. Also, your shot would not suffer with a crop out of that brightly lit spot on the left. It would pull more focus to the kitty and its pose. For a cat that docile, I would also drop my ISO as low as I could get it and shoot with a slower shutter speed (1/40s?) for less noise, if you open your aperture to f4 or 5, it should get you wide open enough to have some room to play with the settings a bit :)
Improvement already? What ARE they going to do with you around here?? ;) |
