Here is what I did

Open the picture in Photo Shop.
Resize to 150 pixels/inch.
Blur the background.
Crop to post.

As you can see now the deer is running into the picture which adds more dynamic. I hope you like it. Also it seem like the disrance to the deer is bigger because the deer is over the middle of the frame.

I hope you like it and the advice is usefull.

This is what I did:

Fist I thought the picture was a little too dark (heavy). So I lightened the shadows a little.
Then I enhanced the colours by adding a little saturation (+20).
Finally adding a little USM (amount 200, radius 0.7, threshold 1.0) and saving for web.
Result – alittle more power in the light and the colurs still leaving the background fairly dark.

Hope you like it

I hope you like it.

Here is what I did:

Loaded the picture in Photoshop and resized to 150 pixels/inch.
Created a new layer at the same size as the picture.
Copied the picture into the new layer.
Selected the layer with the leopard in the layer box and masked the fence area with the lasso tool and deleted it (small pieces at the time).
Copied the rocks in fron of the picture and inserted as a new layer. Then moved the layer in between the original and the empty background.
Move the rocks in position.
Flatned the layers from the layers menu.
Resize and post.

The whole operation took some 10 minutes.


Hope it will be usefull.

I hope you like it or at least got an idea of what I had in mind.

In a friendly way

Here is what I did:

Copy the whole picture into a new layer in Photoshop.
Delete the whole sky and clouds from the upper layer and lighten it a little using curves to catch the details in the wing.
Add a little blue to the underlaying layer and flatten the image.
Save for web and post.
