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 />
