Hi everyone,
At the agility trial I was at last weekend I was asked to take a photo of a competitor that did very well at the previous weeks national trials. They bought her a cake ect to celebrate. I wasn't there any any official capacity and didn't know that this was planned or I would have taken my good flash to fill in. Anyway they wanted the photo on the dog walk which wasn't my 1st choice because of the very distracting background but it wasn't me to decide
Anyway after I got home and looked at the photo I wanted to try to get rid of as much of the background as possible, especially the guy spread eagle in his chair LOL. I was wondering if I cold get some opinions on how this looks. I think I may send them both version and let them decide which they like better but I still want the processed one to look as natural as possible.
oh, yes the lighting was terrible, the sky was awful.. almost the worst conditions to take a photo like this and only about 30s of prep time to think about it... argh
Thanks
John
