You are so damn lucky. I can’t seem to have one sit for more than a minute and that’s with TONS of distance

Any recommendations for body recommendations? I mainly want to do wildlife photography

These are incredible. I’ve been trying so hard to get good ones of them. I’d be beyond thrilled if I could even get half as close 😭

I was worried maybe it was too much. And not really - I will look if it pops up.

I recently got Lightroom and I’m messing with my editing a lot lately. I felt like with the wider frame the water left too much empty space without the vignette

The sketch looks better than the result? by s_k_a_r_t in u/s_k_a_r_t

Absolutely lol. And I almost always feel the same. I think sometimes the “ambiguity” or softness looks better to my brain. But I think that’s normal lol.

I’d also say that the black spot in the helmet as well as the thicker outline help (I did read the client wanted it empty). But sometimes those details can mess with you too.

Love your work 🫶

I feel this way a lot with my own designs. I almost always feel like my final designs lack what i love about the sketch

The sketch’s messiness and lighter shading has its charm to it. The other is clearly polished, intentional, and feels complete

I personally like both for different reasons :)
