Excellent close up look of this guy! I would be tempted to lower the color temperature, and up the saturation in return, which would likely give you more color separation and depth - right now the whole scene is almost the same tone.

Sandy,

It is really nice to see fauna images at CANP!

I really like this, Nice catchlight in the antelope's eye. I agree with Floris regarding some additional processing. Also, the you might consider darkening (burning in) the light colored trees in the background. If you need help with PS to do this, let us know!

Are you planning to meet up with us on the East Side on October 4th? There is some excellent birding to be had at Mono Lake and in Lundy Canyon near the beaver ponds.

Thanks, Preston and Floris, for the good suggestions - always appreciated.

I'll be in Vermont the first week of October, looking for old cabins and fall foliage.
I'll hope to join up with you all another time soon.

Sandy
