Sleeping Beauty

Over summer, I brought my DSLR camera on my trip to Asia, and I was able to see many and experience new things along the way! One of my most notable experiences was being able to take pictures in Nara, Japan, which is a tourist spot known for its deer parks and being able to interact with the deer. However, the shot that I'm submitting is rather tame compared to other interactions between deer and people when I visited, as it depicts a exposed, sleeping deer in the sunlight. I really liked this picture as it showed the contrast between the playful and relaxing sides of the deer, as well as putting a spotlight on a specific deer with the use of light. When I got to editing this photo, I tried to keep it as natural as possible, slightly increasing contrast to allow that one deer to stand out amongst its peers. The biggest edit I made was in the highlights, as by editing the picture, I was able to showcase the background grass and introduce that new element into the whole scene.

Creativity is being able to use what you're given, and create something unexpected, or something that makes the viewer wonder, "dang, how were they able to do that!" With photography, both with objects and people, it's sort of adding your own spin using what's already there.
