This is my first attempt at a self portrait following a ski racing crash this evening.
Some things I wish I could have achieved:
-I really wish I had a second speed light to light up the skis in the background a bit more dramatically. I tried a few desk lamps but they just simply could not overpower the shadow brought about by the speed light. The skis are currently being brought out of shadow in post.
-I have played with the white balance a little and lowered the saturation a bit to give it a more grim feeling, but still feels it needs some color adjustment. I pushed it a little more green. Maybe it needs to go a little more?
-Wish my face and nose were still bleeding to get the full effect...
Any advice or criticism would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
