Hello Ian,
wonderful capture of this nice animal.
I would cut the OOF foreground a bit more. My taste. :toast: :toast:
Have fun.

Great capture Ian :toast:

The OoF FG doesn't bother me really as it's pretty balanced with the OoF BG.

There is a bit of a blue/cyan cast to it though which is easy enough to correct - try adjusting the midtone balance colour in PS to Red +12, Green +26, Blue -35 - the result looks great on my cal'd monitor.

Nice capture :wavey: :wavey:

Nice image of Walter with the funny eyes :cool: Maybe just a tad too saturated ? :toast:

Lovely set of teeth. The colour does look a little odd to me, perhaps desaturate it a little and/or take the blue/purple colour out of the little chaps head. Tristan

Sort the colour out and it will be a very good ratty image

Thanks for the all the replies and advice. :toast:

I used a friends PC to edit and upload the image and have just looked at it on my own system and agree with you about the colour cast :frown: :frown: I do not seem to be able to replace the image though . :rolleyes:

Cheers
