Roe deer hiding the in Wheat.
I’ve recently renewed my passion for photography after a long absence. I am photographing on a budget using a Nikon D500 and a sigma 150 -600 contemporary zoom lens. My interest is taking photographs of wildlife on my dog’s walks in my retirement. On this particular day I spotted a Roe Deer hiding in a crop of wheat. I waited a long time for it to raise its head above the green wheat but it just stared back. I decided to take this shot and when I edited it ON1 RAW I was really happy with the composition and rich colours.
Post processing notes:
I initially used the cropping tool and then applied Brilliance AI. Using the Noise and sharping classic app, I made some slight adjustments to the sharpness although the initial photograph was very clear. An adjustment was also made in the Tone and Color app to the saturation and vibrance. Finally I applied one effect, Dynamic Contrast (classic).Exif information:
