racoons (8)

This mother racoon was trying to keep her three youngsters together, but they had other ideas. She is about to climb down for one, as the other is climbing out above her.

Racoons are nocturnal, and will only come out during the day because of something like this.

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
This workshop isn't ideal,due to the resolution (and my limited editing skills) but just an example of how the image might be cropped for impact.As you can see,some bark detail and leaf has been cropped from the right too.(Although I don't mind them personally,the 'official' line would be that they are a distraction)
I wasn't sure whether or not to apply sharpening again after cropping.I did in the end,but think it almost looks oversharpened now.
It gives you an idea of the sort of thing you can do anyway.
Cheers
Steve
