Lightroom processing
By converting the shot to black and white, Dominic has accentuated the backlighting around the girl’s head. Dominic’s shot was processed in Lightroom. “I used my own black-and-white preset and tweaked it for high contrast. I burned the background where the flash light had spilled (there was a radiator as well as other distracting items behind the girl), and added a mixture of Clarity, Contrast and Highlights boost on the spray part of the image.”
