Can I have some?

I found mom and baby adorable, so I really wanted to focus in on them. Playing around with Photoshop(finally, sitting down and trying some things) I cloned out the distracting b/ground of harsh light/plexi-glass with the blue poles.
I added saturation/contrast and automatic levels, with 100% unsharp mask.
(F 5.6 @ 1/100 sec., 800 ISO- dark inside, Pattern Mode, Focal Length set at 63 mm.)

I couldn't of done these changes without you BP friends- Thank you for your encouragement, your advice, critiques and friendships.

  Good Job Sister! That was hard work!!!

I am still trying to totally figure out the healing tou. Sometimes it works great and others it just smears colors around and duplicate things! Grrr!

Great Job!

  Hi Merna, such a nice thing to say...
lol.
I made it...
It sure was not too adorable when I made it - the background was terrible.

I found Momma and Baby at the Toronto Zoo..

I usually only use my wide-angle cam.. but these two were inside very far away- used my 200ml. lens.. then I did all the PS to remove the window and wood/steel behind them..

I think the title is great... they were so cute!

I have another shot of these two in my gallery too..

THANKS for asking...
Happy Easter to you my friend!

  Hi Christine,
Wow, great image.
The lighting on the head and back of the baby, as well as, the arm of the mother gives their fur a glow. The the little ones expressive eyes.
Happy Day,
Carla

  ThanK YOU very much John and Carla.. it truly means alot for both of you to say so!

I am not proficient in PS at all.. it too me HOURS to clone alittle area then the next etc... I don't like computer work, ha! But I realize, you need to sometimes get rid of the terrible b/gr... I use PS 7.0 and all I really know how to do is the VERY BASICS...

Thanks again,

Sincerely,
CHRISTINE
