Reds? Are we looking at the same picture?

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
Manfred, I think that Brian is referring to the several posts (for example this) he made before this one, many of which feature a lot of red in the subject matter. Originally Posted by Manfred M

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
It looks a tad underexposed?

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
The histogram, levels and curves all show it nicely in the middle. However I did tone it down a teeny tad to eliminate glare Originally Posted by chaman

Not if you are seeing two quite distracting bright areas in the top corners. Originally Posted by Manfred M

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
Perhaps a little bit of selective lighting adjustment would help direct attention to the anther more.

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
Brian - if I see them, so do others. Bright areas near the edge of the frame tend to draw the viewer's eyes away from the subject and out of the frame. Originally Posted by JBW

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
You've run into the problem I did... dimming down the bg tends to make it look a little gray or perhaps the term would be muddy? But the anther certainly draws more attention Originally Posted by FootLoose

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
The corners have brighter areas but they also have darker areas. I will try again. Footloose has brought ut the anther more but it seems a muddier bg to me. Originally Posted by Manfred M

Re: Macro shot of an Alfonso Anther
I went back and darkened the corners while boldening up the anther. Originally Posted by JBW
