home on the range

in this case where the prairie dogs roam - the original photo was a little over exposed and the foreground was washed out and distracting .... ... any thoughts on how to make it better are welcome







the original

Nicely recovered, there are a few things you can do but may not feel inclined to undertake. I would try removing some of the weeds especially around the face. Some of the weeds along the body are fine, also I would try to add a bit of contrast around the head to give it a bit of separation from the background.

The grass around its face would certainly be something of a struggle to clone away, but for me, it doesn't look quite so bad if you show a little more of the grass to demonstrate the actual location; amongst a load of grass.

Possibly something like this

I might try cropping a little wider if it were mine just to show a little more of the surroundings and the critter's body, because to me this one looks more like a scene shot than a portrait. Just an idea. Exposure doesn't look all that bad on the original. Hey, BTW, where did you find this guy, may I ask?

Nicely done, especially the edit of Geoff....

We were visiting the Tetons last summer... where the 'Barn' thats supposed to be the most photographed one. I was trying to take some pics of the mountains with the barn and i looked down and this guy was almost at my feet

Cool, I'd take my camera there for the critter, even if it weren't where the barn was! Do you think this might be a Uninta Ground Squirrel or something similar? I've heard these are commonly mistaken for prairie dogs in the Tetons
