Well, he has now set up home in the tortoise house I built in the garden..! This was from a recent session with him but I think he will be more illusive now and he's welcome to stay where he is for the winter and hopefully be around for some more shots in the spring..

Light was a little harsh casting some deep shadows but I kind of like that..

The lighting is maybe a little too harsh for my taste, but still a shot full of essence of hedgehog.

Looks very contrasty this end Brett.........

Does look a little too contrasty Brett.... perhaps try reducing the blacks on conversion (I think you can do that in DPP) that will keep the light as you want but have the effect of opening the shadows a little.

Great eye contact, hope he enjoys the tortoise house (has the tortoise been evicted?)

Thanks guys.. will re-work and try a again at a later date.. I must admit my processing skills really are limited and so glad of the advice.

Kind regards,

Brett

Hope to see you on the 10th.
