Unleashed Edit:Ā Benson at the Orchard

View All Edits

Benson sat perfectly in the middle of this autumnal orchard row during our Unleashed Workshop in Arrowtown.

His position is crying out for a centered composition, but the image is a little tight, thankfully I have another frame I can use to add space.

As with all RAW files, this is really lacking in colour, which was really vibrant on the day, so I also need to use some colour adjustment tools to bring out the yellows and golds of autumn and really enhance the complementary colour harmony in the image.
