The Call of the Wild II

I altered the colour balance of this morning shot to a cooler, simpler colour finish, that reminded me somewhat of a nocturnal image. That in turn made me think of a wolf howling at a full moon - that thought, plus the relatively simple, natural elements of this shot brought about the title for this image.

 

The only snag with this is that I can't get the Ultravox song of the same title out of my head! (showing my age a bit here!!!) :)))

 

"You can't deny you feel... The Call of the Wild..."

 

A single RAW image processed in Lightroom. I created the colour scheme by adjusting the temperature and tint settings, increasing the vibrancy, and decreasing the saturation until the colour looked right. I then tweaked the clarity, contrast and highlights/shadows in specific parts of the image till it looked right to me - simple as, really, but effective none the less.
