Re: Does Not Look Happy
Nice image Jim
I think there is a blue color cast on its front legs which needs fixing .

Re: Does Not Look Happy
square format should be better, eliminating part of green leaves too flashy

Re: Does Not Look Happy
Sharp focus and a potentially difficult exposure has worked perfectly. I'm not sure about a crop; for me, it is a case of leaving it as it is now or totally removing the leaves. Anything in between will just look untidy.

Re: Does Not Look Happy
Great pic of a cat that is putting up with you and your camera! Well done!
I like the way you've framed the shot with Cat leaning against the rock but you've included greenery as part of the pic. it complements Cat's eyes!
If you tried cropping the leaves out, you'd lose the way Cat's legs are folded. Yep, good pic the way it is!

Re: Does Not Look Happy
I like this cat and your image. I played with it a bit which may or may not suite your tastes.

Re: Does Not Look Happy
Hi Jim
Because you deleted the original I can't make a proper comparison, but I think the color cast is less visible in the new image. And IMO Richard's edit improved the image very much.

Re: Does Not Look Happy
I often worry about reediting someone else's image but, I would never mind someone working on an image of mine.
What I did with this image was to:
1. Crop a bit closer
2. Use the Photoshop CC burn tool at 50% to darken the edges creating a slight vignette
3. Place a NIK control point on the white ares beneath the cat's jaw and then desaturate and lighten that area
4. Place control points on the cat's eyes, brighten them a bit, increase saturation and increase contrast a bit
5. Globally use the NIK Viveza Structure Slider to increase overall structure.
