Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Tilted (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
Location: Rijswijk, Netherlands
Date: Mar 2, 2008
Aperture: f8.0
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Emotive, Candid
Date Uploaded: Mar 2, 2008

 This was a candid photo I took after standing for an hour on a busy crossroads trying to be inconspicuous with my 300mm lens.

The "model" was very obliging but bursting into laughter at her boyfirnds joke (thanks mate) and bending forward at the same time. This gives the impression I was above her but in fact we were both at the same level. The tilt is done in Lightwave, not in camera.

Processing was minimal in lightwave:
-Exposure
-saturation
-curves
-remove noise
-export

In PS I did the following:
-crop
-resize
-sharpen

The crop is great for the subject, minus her missing right hand. LOVE her smile and expression, great clear image with very nice lighting.

Fun shot. I think the tilt here has a nice impact, giving this a fresh and fun feel. I do wish her hand and head weren't cut off though.

A nice effort. Cropping off the top portion of her head hurt the image.
