Hoki making a splash

Here is Hoki doing what she likes best:



I wish that I hadn't got the corner of grass in the shot, but I'm not sure that I could edit it and it still look real?

And is it too dark - should I try some post processing on it?

Re: Hoki making a splash

Lovely big splash.
I would say that it is really rather underexposed and would benefit from some PP.

Re: Hoki making a splash

Agree with Em - it does need a bit of a lift. I don't think the grass is a huge problem myself - but you could probably clone it out and still have it looking realistic!

Its a good shot! Lots of movement there. Yes IMO its a bit underexposed and could do with a little boost.

Re: Hoki making a splash

Thanks all

I've had a go with the limited software I have but still not happy - doesn't help that everytime I look at it on my pc it seems to change. Perhaps I'll better give my screen a good clean and then try again

Re: Hoki making a splash

A really nice action shot but I agree, somewhat underexposed. Removal of the grass helps to balance the composition. It's worth some extra effort, don't give up on it.

Re: Hoki making a splash

Thanks Nikosnap, the way you've taken out the grass is great

I definitely won't give up practicing with the pp
