A great
assignment Mike, your passion for both the event and the photography comes
through clearly. You've meticulously delivered to the assignment brief and the
interest in your shots by a potential client gives a nice finishing touch to
the assignment.
You've got great coverage, key moments and a lot of
human interest. You've set a high standard for yourself in your selects and
it’s abundantly clear that this is the outcome of a lot of dedicated effort.
It was felt, however, that some images had been over-processed although it was commented that this was purely a matter of opinion. To this end I revisited the images and decided on some to reprocess. In Lightroom I made virtual copies of some of my shots in order to save the original processing and then began from scratch with the originals, apart from the cropping. This time I only set the white and black points, adjusted the exposure, reduced the highlights and opened up the shadows slightly if necessary. I didn't adjust the clarity, vibrance or saturation at all this time. I think that, personally, I prefer my original processing, but, as my tutor says it is a matter of personal taste. I actually think that it might have been the quality of the light on the second day: it was the middle of a very bright day and I did have problems with highlights and shadows. For this type of photography I prefer the soft light of a bright but overcast day.
I include my reprocessed images below. The originals can be found in my previous blog and I shall submit both for final assessment.
