ReCoil
May 13th, 2025. The head-height display of this Green Anaconda was a veritable testament to my gallantry, hence the moniker, “ReCoil”. The fine specimen of Eunectes Murinus remained motionless staring me down for the five-minute photo op.
Post processing notes:
This image was edited in ON1 utilizing 3 masks for subject, foreground, and background adjustments. The compositional crop intentionally revisited the subject's elevational advantage. Dynamic Contrast and various colorization Effects were added to obtain the cooler emotive I artistically drew from this image. Texture and lighting were applied to replicate the realism and tension which captivated my apprehension beholding this observer eye-to-eye. NoNoise AI was applied prior to the final Jpeg export.Exif information:
