close to perfect as is.
good: focus composition exposure colors red accent color of main human subject (former national geographic cliche) stop motion person facing right, as in right-reading, for westerners. plain sky light gives plain soft low-contrast light on the trees etc.
hmmmm: sky one tone, bland blue, no clouds - painted some in with paint and smudge tools. darkened sky and treetops to emphasize person.
as is has three planes of interest, but nothing at far infinity nor anything right up close - added clouds to give interest at infinity, added copy of plants as if close underfoot, to make it closer to a three-fer.
boater facing right in the right side of the image looks like departure, good-bye, sad, gone. moved to other side for conversion to hello, happy, coming to see you.
unmodified: brightest white, first eye draw, is the foreground ripples -try darkening them.
all of which is just playing, one minute each, fyi, changeable subject to what you had intended. |
