Richard Glover (see some of his work here) sent this one in, which he edited in Lightroom, saying “The image has a ‘getting ready for action’ feel to it so It was important to me that I included as much of the arms and hands as possible. I originally tried a landscape crop, but when keeping to the original aspect ratio I couldn’t get a look that I was happy with. So for this reason I went for a portrait crop keeping the original aspect ratio. I added a slight vignette to help the face/eyes stand out – the emphasis on darkening the background slightly rather than bringing out the face.”

Bogdan Matei send this in from Romania, saying: “I first cropped and rotated. Used levels to adjust the luminosity. Sharpened Colin a little and added a small noise reduction to the background.”
