I had a very good sharp image to start with, but must of this was enhanced with Photoshop CS. Background was of various grasses and rocks and it had hot spots. Used the "BURN" tool to darken, but got to a point that the 'dark green was the color I decided to fill with. I think the green and the yellow/orange of the chetta was a good contrast. It was a real time investment to clean up the hairs of the animal. I spend a number of hours doing the clean up and it paid off. Did some masking and cut and past on some parts and then used the magic wand to get small sections masked, then used the clone tool to fill in green color and or fur from other places on the animal.#846376

Perfection, Tom. It certainly did pay off. You'd never know there was glass in between the two of you. The lighting and focus are fabulous. #849685Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
