With his "hand-carved" horns this fellow looks like something out of Jurassic Park! Tick's friend the taxidermist would have loved that head - but sorry - he is still alive and kicking!
Ok, trying to clear the cobwebs from me brain here ... in reference to the image editing software you use. Cutting to the chase ...
Need to tame the cyans. Bit of a colour cast present?
Perhaps, a Levels and/or Curves adjustment alone might fit the editing bill towards the end of colour balance as a quick fix. Or ...
Selective Colour adjustment ... working with the cyans/blues/greens/neutral colours for the most part. Or ...
If you are feeling ambitious ... Channel Mixer and/or Colour Balance adjustments would work better and give you greater control.
Took your image here up to the largest viewing resolution ... as I was curious as to whether or not you did any sharpening. Short answer? Can't tell. And that is, indeed, a good good thing. :o)
Good composition. And the slight grade of the hill provides a good dynamic visual assist.
p.s. Just had an afterthought ... perhaps, a monitor calibration is in order for you? Something that should be done anyways periodically ... and that goes for all of us.
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
I just got done with a shower and a shave, Does that make me a "squeaky-clean" old goat?? Great detail and colour in this excellent capture Raj. Nice work
(Thrown into the post processing mix ... Phil's; aka PhilcUK tutorial ... "Faking the HDR thing ...". I like the added dimensionality that can be achieved. Depends on the base photo and subject, of course.)
Annnnd ... uploaded the .psd document or Photoshop file to my mediafire.com account ... here. (Layers are turned off, so that the file could be smaller. Originally was weighing in at 65 Mb., or close to.)
If you are curious, and software enabled ... download it and you can see the individual settings firsthand with respect to the Selective Colour Adjustments. Not that large, only 45 Mb. Give or take. (Good download speeds et al.)
Annnnd ... done. :o)
p.s. Oops, almost forgot ... if it bothers you in any way to have your image on any of the sites above ... let me know and down they come. The accounts are semi-private, just an f.y.i..
I think he's really beautiful, Raj. I can't make out what Les is trying to say and I followed all his links. I hope this fellow never has to see the Taxidermist.
Although its horns are impressive, think to see by the expression on its face that itīs a rather friendly goat, but I donīt like to test it, lol.
Good post Raj.
Regards, Cornelius.
Caveats.
