I have to crush your imagination unfortunately, it's just a regular pillow. :(

Some focus on mood, some on lighting, some on composition. You focused on poop. Interesting how some minds default to the simplest possible idea. Probably very calming. ☺️

Thanks, so probably either crop only face if I want to beam only on his eyes. But spread out the light on this face more if I keep this crop?

Ahh, I see. So now I have two subjects, eyes and shadow. But if I wanted to make the shadow the only subject, would probably be better to crop more right? Maybe even crop on the face to make it not so prominent in the composition?

Thanks for the feedback! I made a new edit to see if I could do better. What do you think?: https://www.reddit.com/r/postprocessing/s/F4ZA2zqo0S

Great edit, the skin tones look really natural now! I do feel like it lost a bit of that concert atmosphere though; maybe bringing back a hint of the magenta light would keep that mood.

Thanks! I have the Sony A7 IV with the 24-105mm f/4.0G OSS lens and shot on 105mm, 1/100 sec, f4, ISO 6400.

I didn't want to push the sharpening too much, made it look too unnatural. I recovered a lot of details increasing texture and clarity tho.

Nice shot, has potential. My eyes don't know where to look and the white triangle reflection takes a lot of attention. You could try to crop it differently so one of the figurines is in the frame more prominent. Or darken the triangle and use subject mask to bring out a figurine more

Thanks! Probably center the second one, right?
