Key photograph no1 poster

Contact Sheet:

My planned intention for this series of pictures is for the "activists'" character on the final poster. I wanted them to be part of the group of characters in the middle of the poster, I also wanted the "activist" to be looking away from the point where the rest are as it shows they are a separate character. 

I wanted use either the 1st, 3rd or the 4th as they portray the character how I want. I didn't choose picture 1 and the final image as the character has there eyes shut.

ORIGINAL PICTURE

Here is the unedited version on the image I chose to use. This is img_2597 on the contact sheet. I chose this image as it is the best looking in the series.

ADJUSTED IMAGE

For the photoshop adjustment i used were the curves on the RGB setting to try and brighten the darker areas whilst keeping the lighter areas the same i feel this wasn't as effective as it could of been. I also used the "vibrance" adjustment to make the character have a slightly tanned look as the character is sporty they would spend time out side and more than likely have some colour on there face instead of being pale.

FRAMED IMAGE

I feel that the final image is a vast improvement on the original. I also think the resolution is good as it is quite high at 2916x2376. I think the lighting is suitable for what the image is being used for but if I was using it for another purpose I would probably want to light it differently as it would have a different purpose.
