I took this handheld at Chester Zoo last year trying out my new lens,a good little poser dont you think. Being not to sure what i am doing with photoshop and computers i just adjusted levels and sharpened. Comments good or bad most welcome._____JIM

Re: Prairie Dog

Yeah he's certainly a very cute little poser. What's he holding in his paws? Looks like he ws either getting ready to play ball with you or maybe peel himself an orange.

The levels and contrats seem ok but it could probably take a touch more sharpening on his nose. The contrast on the darker fur of his belly and chest responded nicely to a bit more sharpening too when I tried it.

Nice picci though. He's sweet.

Re: Prairie Dog

Jim, which image editing software are you using?

There are some excellent video tutorials for most of the popular programmes at http://www.lynda.com/

lynda.com is probably one of the very best software video training sites around, not just for image editors either - it's for a huge range of software. You need to subscribe for full access to all the videos but there's also a huge range available for non subscribers.
