Originally posted by Iris I like the warm tones in #1, but I prefer the eyes of #2!
Me too! I didn't realise until I posted them how much more intense I'd got the eyes.
Originally posted by SWEngineer Illuminating the eyes works well. But I think the cat gets lost in the darker background. And maybe only partially desaturate the colors?
Good point - she does sort of fade away... sort of like the Cheshire cat, only it's her eyes, not her grin, that are left!
My original goal was to make the background cooler/bluer, but I discovered that there
are no blues in there, and ended up just desaturating it. Maybe I'll try toning the warm colours down a wee bit, and darkening, so that it's still a spooky dark forest but there can still be some contrast with the cat. Or maybe I should just stop wasting so much time on an otherwise rather ho-hum photo!
Thanks for your input!
