[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 447196, member: 13090"] Agreed. Your shot is way heavy at the bottom with all those shadows. The eye is drawn to the brightest area and the subject of your photo but it's the smallest part of the frame. As Mike points out, about a third of the frame should be foreground and the rest subject (speaking to this shot in particular). The dynamic range of shots like this one stretch the limits of our current technology so the best thing to do (IMO) is expose for the highlights; squeeze in as much as you can but [I]without clipping[/I] (your Histogram is your friend here). Do not eeeeven worry about how the shot looks in preview at this point. I say again for emphasis: NO CLIPPING. Once in post you pull up the shadows and mid-tones (ah ha!), tweak the color... [I]et voila[/I]: Joy! [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
