Post sharpening and contrast tweaks were restrained for this one so that fine details won’t get muddied up and colours could be spared clipping.

Greens were a little too overwhelming in the original capture so they were toned down a bit in post.

Leo Comes A-Calling

This was taken against dark undergrowth with the exposure biased 2 stops darker so that flower details won’t get washed out.

More often than not, in such a scenario, the camera could’ve been fooled by the dark background into brightening up the image and thus turning the subject into just a bright patch lacking details.
