Earlier, the original photo (see below and click to enlarge if desired) had a blurred out tree sticking out of the Moose's head. I love the shot but not too fond of that tree, and I didn't have the time to do some editing. With a bit of time tonight and with Dennis D's encouragement (that the photo would be better without that tree), I removed that hideous distractor out of the photo via Photoshop. I also added some contrast to the eye to make it stand out more.
A list of techniques applied here:
- Clone Stamp, Spot Healing Tool, and Healing Brush Tool to remove the tree and reconstruct the edges of the ears that are next to the blurred out tree.
- A Brightness/Contrast layer mask on the eye.
- Selective desaturatiion on Yellow and Green colours using Hue/Saturation layer mask.
- Selective sharpening on the Moose's fur strands using Unsharp Mask. (Note: The original shot was fairly sharp itself, even at the widest aperture of my SigmOS lens. Further sharpening will make the sharp fur details standout more.)
Again, I'd like to point out that I don't find cloning out distractors to be unethical in nature photography as long as one doesn't modify the intended subject, move the subject to a completely new background, and/or add enhancers to make the subject better. Another word, minor fixes only! Tough call for landscape photography because the whole scene itself is the subject. Nonetheless, nowadays, I try to capture my subjects correctly then do minimal adjustments instead of wasting time cloning this cloning that, which is not really photography anymore.
Test shoot using my newly acquired Light Blaster (light-blaster.com) which allows you to project your own backdrop images. Since I also have a big photoshoot coming up for a local hair salon I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and get some salon test shots as well.
The Light Blaster performed well overall but it definitely has strengths and weaknesses. I just used an old 18-55mm Canon kit lens, I found I needed to use a lot of power. If I used a faster lens (ie wider aperture) it should require a bit less light. A big issue is that you really need to limit spill from your key light or else it will completely wash out the projected background. I was shooting in a small space so this didn't help that fact, if I had more room the key light would have fallen off quicker too.
Strobist info:

Rough power ratios was as follows:
Rim 1/16
Key 1/4
Light Blaster 1/8 to 1/2 depending on slide.
Another edit from test shoot with Claire Hanson hair and makeup.
Was actually the first look of the day. Loads of natural light coming through the window balanced with a softbox slightly camera right.
Strobist info: Canon 580 ex II in westcott 28 inch softbox slightly cam right to balance strong sunlight.
I’m No Longer Able To Make Manips. So I’m Going To Be Posting Photo Edits Of Because I Thought I Would Give Photo Editing A Try So Be On A Look Out For Those. And I’m SUPER DUPER Sorry Guys !!! Tell Me What You Think !!!
a young lady watching and photographing her mate on a kiteboard at Scarborough does some photo editing.
I wonder does she delete the images where he is dumped or does she keep only those.
Not the best lighting angle, but I still like the shot. I'll be back to this spot again when the sun is at a better angle. Edited

Weekly pic to edit until Tuesday 19th April 2011 (included).
My photography class tutor looked at a few of my photographs today and said a few of my recent Sky and Glencoe photos need changed. He said they would look better with more contrast. This is what I came up with. maybe I've gone a bit overboard with the saturation?
Messing around with some new editing techniques.
