Quiet Morning REPOST

Gallery: WildlifePosted December 5, 201345 views3 comments

Following suggestions that a vignette would help draw attention to the doe, I decided to find out how to do that effect. So after a couple of attempts, this is what I came up with. I tried to clone out the twig across her face with the healing brush, but was not satisfied with the result, so I left it as it was. Further comments would be appreciated.

Peter,
I really do not think the twig is very noticeable and certainly does not distract for me. Perhaps if you "removed" the portion above the head and a little from the piece below it's presence would be even better disguised. The twig over the ear does not bother me either.
In summary a wonderfully peaceful moment well captured

I think you made subtle but effective tweaks!

I think this added vignette is just right Peter, really did the job focusing all attention on the doe..
Nice details, direct eye contact, and resting pose
