About the Image(s)

This is a photo of my son and the daughter in law. The photo was taken about 5 years ago, very early in the morning at the beach. I wanted to turn the original photo into a silhouette, which was done using the Camera Raw Filter in the Photoshop.

Photo details are given below:
Camera: 5D Mark 3
Lens: Canon 24 – 100 f/2.8 lens
Focal length: 28 mm
Exposure: 1/15 Sec, f/7.1, ISO 1600
Mode: Aperture
Metering: Pattern metering

I cropped the photo and manipulated the sky (filled the sky with red and yellow areas of the same photo using the Clone Stamp tool and decreased the clarity). In addition, I inserted the three photos of birds on the sky.

Sam, this is a great photo of your son and daughter-in-law. I love the expressions they share, expecting a child soon.
You did great work with cloning and bringing out the sky.
There is an artifact of your son's head appearing just above him. I went into Photoshop and used the content aware spot healing tool several times and think this blends in well. Let me know if you think it's OK. Jim   Posted: 01/12/2022 14:06:06

This is a wonderful photo. The birds add a nice touch. They are almost an implied leading line to the couple. I might have cropped the bottom to below the their hands to show more emotion and the preganancy.   Posted: 01/24/2022 11:10:50

Interesting, the dark artifact above the man's head does not appear in the original. I have two thoughts. You might want to adjust the yellow tones so that they don't have a greenish tinge. Also, since the photo gives the impression of a silhouette, You might want to darken the people a bit more.

Laura, when Sam used the clone tool he copied the top of his son's head into the sky. That's why it wasn't in the original. Jim   Posted: 01/24/2022 12:05:53
