Portrait of Cow

26Jun10

This lady was just standing quietly by the road waiting for her photograph to be taken.  It was a beautiful evening, although Dunning ridge was casting a shadow over the fields.  The sun on the hills can be seen in the distance.

This GX200 shot was developed in Aperture.  A lot of work was required to pull back the highlights in the strangely striped clouds.  The black point was moved right.  Definition and a little vibrancy added. Auto curves separate balanced the colours, a slight s-curve to manage contrast and more work on the highlights to bring back detail in the clouds.
