Re: A mother's love
Nice shot Ian but I do find the OOF image on the right a bit disconcerting. Can it be cloned out?Canon 6D; Canon 760D;Canon G15;Canon 40mm f2.8(Pancake);Canon 50mm f1.8(ii); Canon 17mm-40mm f4L;Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM;Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 STM lens;Canon 24mm-105mmf4L IS;Canon 70-300mm f4-f5.6 L IS USM;Kenko 1.4x HD TC;Canon 430EX ii flash;Giottos tripod;Manfretto monopod;Cokin P filters + bits and pieces!

Re: A mother's love
This would have been a wonderful picture if only the background was filled with trees, grass anything but brick. I would be extremely tempted to put something in place.

Re: A mother's love
Treff - Yes, I agree with you about the background and if I was a whizz with Photoshop I would. Unfortunately, I am going to have to live with it.EOS600D, 17-40mm L, 70-300mm IS, 50mm f1.8, 18-135mm STM, Powershot S95, 12 extension tube, Speedlight 380 EX.Comment

Re: A mother's love
Deva32,
A great shot with a lovely touch of tenderness. I hope you don't mind I changed the background for you (if you do let me know and I'll delete it) it is just a quick edit to show how it could be.

Colin - That is so much better and, no, I don't mind you doing it. I envy your expertise with Photoshop.
Thanks

Re: A mother's love
Have to agree it is a great moment captured well and the natural background is the perfect finishing touch. Well done to both!Comment

Re: A mother's love
As said a rubbish background but a great moment to capture and the edit is spot on

Re: A mother's love
Thanks for your kind comments everyone. Had the animals been facing in another direction I could have had a decent background, but this was a fleeting moment, rescued by Colin.

Re: A mother's love
I agree. The improved photo is very nice. I wish I could also be a master of the photoshop magic!!! Quite a long way for me to master these arts- still learning the ropes with digital photography.Canon 6D; Canon 760D;Canon G15;Canon 40mm f2.8(Pancake);Canon 50mm f1.8(ii); Canon 17mm-40mm f4L;Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM;Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 STM lens;Canon 24mm-105mmf4L IS;Canon 70-300mm f4-f5.6 L IS USM;Kenko 1.4x HD TC;Canon 430EX ii flash;Giottos tripod;Manfretto monopod;Cokin P filters + bits and pieces!

Re: A mother's love
Thanks guys for the nice comments about the editing. It just takes a fair bit of practice but CS5 takes a lot of the hard work out particularly when it comes to compositing like this. The Matt Kloskowski book on compositing is excellent and well worth the money imho.Last edited by Colin; 08-12-2011, 16:05.Comment
