Reworking Light and Leaf

I thought that one way of checking my progress in workflow would be to quickly rework an older image. I came upon this one, which I didn’t think worked well at all. I used Photoshop and the Nik Color Efex filters along with some of Vincent Versace’s lighting techniques to balance the leaf with the sunlight and create a more “closed composition. I don’t think it’s an image worth a lot more work, but I proved to myself that I’ve improved my editing eye and can return to images and improve the success of their composition. For comparison, the previous version is the smaller version at the right.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people. View all posts by James Vornov
