Catherine (#158) 12-07-12

Three ladies were heading my way on River St., Savannah. I stopped them and asked a favor. You know what THAT was. They agreed. I positioned Catherine in front of a dark alleyway, with a set of stairs in the near background. The dark surroundings and her fair skin lead to slight overexposure of the face.

I showed this image at a camera club, and a member pointed out this shortcoming. Thankfully, I shot it in RAW format, so it was easy to open the original file and re-work it, lowering exposure by ½ stop. Yes, I like this better.

Then, to go totally hog wild, I made a (Gasp!), color version.

I like the lines in the background. For me, the red and cyan work well. Maybe more color is in my future.
