Guidance

Taken on the family outing to Rawson, Victoria. These two are both my younger cousins and we are navigating along a bush path in order to reach this beautiful place: www.flickr.com/photos/benmciver/5633717079/in/photostream.

 

Before I began processing this photo, I really wanted to draw attention to the two subjects' shadows. In order to do so, I firstly created a new adjustment layer with a black/white gradient map. I then upped the contrast slightly and created a vignette border to draw emphasis towards the subject matter. I didn't do a full vignette because it didn't work well with the white light above the trees. Hopefully this doesn't create a feeling of imbalance...

 

Opinions/recommendations/ideas gratefully accepted as always. Thanks for taking the time to view my photo. As always, hope you are feeling well and healthy!
