Assignment #334: Spotlit Subjects 

In Russ Burden’s recent Tip Of The Week, The Edge Of Light, he suggests that, “Rather than bathe your entire subject with luminescence, take it to the next level and solely light the most important parts of the subject while the rest is subdued in darker values.” This technique will draw the viewer’s eye to what you deem the most important part of your image. Give it a try and then submit your best landscape, nature or wildlife images by June 20.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
