Improving Your Photography<br />
Photo Review Session by Excio<br />
Mushroom Kingdom by Amelia Schimerman<br />
REVIEW BY: KORRY BENNETH<br />
INITIAL THOUGHTS<br />
What a very interesting photo! I like how you used a<br />
different approach to make something ordinary look<br />
unusual and unique.<br />
The colors are really nicely done, I don’t know if this<br />
was the natural setting or you helped with a bit of post<br />
processing but the earth tones combined with the<br />
dark green background are a great combination.<br />
MAKING THIS PHOTO EVEN BETTER<br />
What could be done differently is the contrast and<br />
lighting. You have wonderful light beams dropping on<br />
your subject and with just a bit more contrast those<br />
would give a whole new dimension to your image.<br />
Notice the difference between the original photo and<br />
the photo on the next page where I’ve added just a<br />
bit of contrast. Not only is the image more vivid, it also<br />
became a bit sharper and makes your subject really<br />
stand out.<br />
