2nd shot is excellent. Maybe a little touch of the Shadow/highlight tool but I'm not sure you have that.

[Don Schaeffer]

Thanks Irma.

What does the shadow-highlight tool do?

Thanks Irma.

What does the shadow-highlight tool do?

In my Photoshop version it is two tools, called dodge and burn. (A throw back to film.)
One lightens, the other darkens. You can alter the diameter of the tool to suit and the intensity of it.

I have those tools. I use them a lot.

Very nice animals Don, The first one is a lill underexposed, but it could of been easily fixed in PSPX, using the fill flash tool or in PS CS2. using the shadow tool. We also have a squirrel thread, you could post this in. It's up to you tho. Thanx for sharing!

I know about the squirrel thread. I was going to look for it but got lazy.

Actually, the shadow/highlight adjustments are by clicking on,
image>adjustments>shadow/highlights
It's works a little differently from the dodge and burn tools. The defog action that is available would also add a little punch.
