Sydney Taronga Zoo

Took this photo a few months ago on a point and shoot Sony Cybershot camera. Stunning

Thought I would share it after seeing the other Zoo thread.

This is a very nice photo, cheetahastra! I love the colours, the shadows and reflections! Excellent!

Nice!!

Very cool photo cheetahastra!!!!!

Excellent - has almost a surreal quality to it.

May I edit?

Go for it.

Sharpening, auto levels

That looks great!! What program did you do that in Villageidiot?

Photoshop CS3.

Auto levels added saturation and contrast while darkening the photo a bit since it's kind of over exposed. Not much, but just a little bit. Adding saturation and contrast help make the image "pop" in this case as it's a little flat with the skin being almost all gray across the board. The edit has brighter whites and darker grays which help it a bit. Not saying the original is bad an' all. That and some one could probably improve on my PP

Well it was on Auto settings with my arm over the barrier so not bad I thought thank you - i just got CS2 so I will have to try that on out myself too.

I meant auto level in PS.

Image > Adjustments > Auto Levels.
