Hmmm not feeling the edit, it's way darker then I want for this image. Would just selecting the rocks in question themselves and toning them down on their own work rather then editing the whole image?Unpopular, I was not so sure that lightening up the burned-in areas was the only way to go, so I took a couple minutes, and just opened the file, used the curves tool to darken ALL the rocks, and then used about 10 seconds' worth of the Dodge tool along the dark line near the man, and came up with this.In my ultra-quickie edited version, the single,solitary wave becomes a much more important part of the composition. The porous rocks are sublimated mostly. Light advances, dark recedes; by going with a darker foreground, the silhouetted man becomes a much STRONGER figure, and the wave also becomes "one,single wave", among an otherwise smooth-surfaced ocean...I feel like this quickie, darker, more low-key image is more appropriate for the title "Isolation". The man is isolated, and the single, breaking wave is isolated. Working from a larger file, it'd be even easier.
K thanks for the advice!!!Yeah, you could do the photo any number of ways...I spent about 15 seconds on this; if you took a minute or two and made a selection, it would be pretty easy to even out the rock tones either brighter or darker.
Look,people helping people! Nice.
It needs some dramatic clouds to fill the void of the empty sky. A bit heavy on the contrast too.
Yep I agree. I feel like they're are enough tones in the sky to make it work! The ocean is pretty calm so the sky goes well with that.Clouds would diminish the feeling of isolation and distract the eye from the subject.It needs some dramatic clouds to fill the void of the empty sky. A bit heavy on the contrast too.
