Proactively Moody Image with a Dramatic Look of an orange tabby cat with green eyes in a red barn.

 

Intention: Well, after being extremely to find the cat with green eyes in this window, I wanted to capture the contrasting colors of its green eyes and the red barn that he was in. I also wanted it to be a bit moody, especially because it worked so well with the time of day and the amount of light that was hitting the window at the time.

Outcome: I love it. I did go back and forth on the brightness of the white in its chest, so maybe I would adjust that a bit more, but I do think that it leads your eye to his left eye and then back around.

From the Reading: Duchemin writes about the use of color and contrast and how the use of these can be just as powerful as scale to create a similar affect: “Green will look green enough, but put something magenta into the scene and the green will look even greener.”

Edits: Cropped, used spot healing brush and clone stamp tool to clean up the dirty window a bit, used ACR to adjust clarity, texture, dehire, and exposure slightly, brightened the cat's eyes and face, added a vignette
