Povo do cerrado - São Jorge, Brasil

Thanks

Way underexposed. Because the harsh light on the kid's left arm fooled your camera's in-camera meter, a tiny bit of post produciton can help this photo. Here is a different version fixed in photoshop in less then 1 minute.

Thanks for the critique, but i really don't agree with the underexposed issue (for instance I prefered the first photo. Darker shadows on the child's face makes it a more expressive photo) and yes, I did not use photoshop. Anyway, thanks.

Rodrigo.. I understand that excepting a negative critique is tough, especially if you aren't used to it. Technically, the "Shadows" on the face were virtually untouched and are just as dark in my version. The original is very flat, very low contrast, and unpleasing to the eye. If you don't think it is underexposed, I recommend some basic photo classes. First question to ask in class is "how does 18% grey relate to in-camera metering".

 

Even a simple glance at the tonal range of this image will show you it's underexposure. It's ok, you just keep shooting.
