01.21.12 Triston Cottrell
This is Cadet Corporal Triston Cottrell with the Muhlenberg County High School JROTC program. He’s a freshman at the high school and was part of the drill team that competed today at Hopkins County Central High School’s “Storm Surge Drill Meet” in Mortons Gap, Ky. Teams from 10 different high schools converged on the school to compete against each other and while there were a wealth of portraits to shoot, I found this young man in front of my camera eager to have his portrait taken.
I processed this portrait using Photoshop CS5 by darkening down the areas around him to draw focus to the main subject of the picture. I then applied a custom variation of the Topaz Adjust Photo Pop filter as the basic one was a little more overpowering than what I wanted.
