I read somewhere that a study has proven that a "paradox" of our senses is that our eyes don't show us what we see, but what we believe. Hmmm, maybe that is why supposed "eyewitnesses" to a scene can have totally different versions. In some ways it reminds me of the situation in the above image. I recall being totally in awe of the scene on the Serengeti plain as we approached the five giraffes. It was dramatic and vivid in my mind's eye. When I looked at the actual image that came out of my camera, it seemed to lack the lustre that I remembered. I went to work in Photoshop and replaced the sky with one a little more dramatic and also increased contrast (both tonal and edge) and rendered the image more to what I had seen (or believed I had seen).I am doing some online courses on Photoshop, so stand by for more funky and wonderful images.
Live well and prosper.
