Lovely shot Stan, especially showing the use of the prehensile tail

Re: Harvest Mouse

Hi Stan;

Very pleasant image, but (and it may well have been how it was) I suggest that the lighting looks a little flat! I had a very quick play, and a simple level/curves adjustment would take care of that! Simples!

Re: Harvest Mouse

A lovely image Stan, but I have to agree with Lee about the lighting.

it was a bright day with the sun behind and it does look fine on my screen which has recently been calibrated and in print

Could you post the result of what you had in mind

Hi Stan;

Here you go... For the benefit of reviewers who might be interested...

1. I made a simple Levels adjustment layer; Blacks to 20, MidPoint to 1.10 and Whites to 220

2. This introduced some yellow to the grass, so I made a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, picked yellow, used the eye-dropper to select a bright area of grass, and reduced saturation by 15 points, then masked off the mouse so it wasn't affected...

3. Then, because I prefer warmer tones, using Nik's Viveza module, I increased global warmth by 10 points...

Let me know when/if you want me to bring the image down...



If you do a side-by-side comparison in Photoshop, you can see the difference clearer... HTH...

Re: Harvest Mouse

Thanks for your ideas Lee There is not a great difference but see what you are getting at

I have duplicated your workflow on the high res version and looking at Viveza, which I have not really used in the past, I think there would be even greater impact in pushing warmth a bit further - up to about 20
