Backlit Objects In Direct Light

Taking photos of something that is sitting up against a glass door or window in winter is tricky. The snow outside and the light glaring off of it make it hard to get a descent shot. This hobby horse was just such a subject.



First off, some Recovery and Clarity, plus a small crank down on the exposure in Lightroom defined the silhouette of the horse and the door frame better. Then by taking away some of the highlights and lights from the Tone Curve, as well as some of the shadow, it made the final image much clearer.
