Hi Everyone, Thanks for dropping by to take a look. Willing to accept the harshest critique so as to learn and to improve.
1. In which area is critique or feedback to be given?
a. Composition - The framing of the subject. I had eons to snap a pic as "superman" was fast asleep. He was motionless and I snapped about 10 diff shots of him from various angles including one from the back where you could only see his dreadlocks. But I chse this cos it included his expression and his superman emblem.
b. Post-processing - Any thiought on how to imporve?
Selective desaturation (and saturation), Increase contrast and clarity, Some split toning to add a cool effect (to mirror the sleepy Superman)
c. Technique.
2. What were you hoping to achieve with this image?
I wanted to capture how tired the subject looked. Additionally, his strong features and physique did allow him to carry the superman logo well. Hence I decided to highlight the Superman emblem in the photo.
3. Under what circumstance was the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
Late morning. Diffused light as the subject was in the shade of the trees at Hong Lim Park.
ISO - 400
1/25
f7.1
4. Thread-starter's personal thoughts about the image.
I like the subject and I am fairly happy with coming away with this shot.
however, I would like to explore and hear from others how else this photo could be improved.
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers.
