A lucky snap of a red kit turning in some sun. I love the way the tail is illuminated and tried to brighten the body a little, but I am still getting to grips with editing in ‘proper software’ and would love to get some feedback.

    It was shot in RAW, but I am incredibly new to editing in software not on my phone. Another comment mentioned curves and levels which seems to be the route to go, but it is very daunting going that route for the first time. I intend to do a little research and have a go at lifting the shadows just enough to ideally see more of the face (as they are the lighter feathers anyway).

        I really appreciate the offer, but at the moment I am focusing on feedback and advice, rather than demonstration. Being at such an early stage I would like to see my own editting progression (as advised elsewhere, I plan on putting this image to the side until I am more confident with subtle editing on such an image).

          OK fair enough, in terms of advice I would suggest getting really familiar with whatever RAW software you’re using as you should be able to get an image like this perfect without needing to take it into photoshop.

            Thank you, I think using the software is going to be the most beneficial thing I focus on for quite some time.
