Hi Ken, I like the pose! Processing doesn't do justice to this nice image and I see a stong S/H halo. I feel a vertical is the way to go in here. Image is not saved as sRGB resulting in dull colours on my monitor.

[Ken Watkins]

Ofer,

Not to sure where the halo comes from especially as I do not use S/H.

My save for web and devices has SGRB selected so not to sure what went wrong here.

I like your crop idea.

Cheers

Maybe you have selectively brightened the Leopard but the brush went a bit to the BG causing this halo?
There is a lot of info regarding saving for web in this forum.

Lovely image, i like both crops but may be leaning a little more towards the landscape as i like the space, a few colour issues it looks like more on the sky but im on my laptop at the moment so may well be my screen, will look again at home on the desktop.

Ofer,

I did no selective lightening either, so no idea as to what is causing this "halo""

Ken - I also see the halo. I prefer the vertical comp by a slight margin. I'm still hoping to get a leopard in a tree shot.

TFS,

Well I have taken another closer look at the TIFF and there is no halo, but certainly something odd has occurred in the conversion to JPEG, all along the Leopards there is definitely a magenta edge added, no idea how tis could be caused either:2eyes2:

Normally halos are visible on a treshold layer but I can see nothing there either

[Tom Graham]

To help me understand, could someone who sees a strong halo tell me exactly where on the image? Perhaps a big crop posting to show it amplified?

Thanks Tom,

Me too!!!

By the way the colour space issue is now resolved as I now know I need to embed SRGB, for those not using Firefox as their browser

No halos for me at least , May be due to web size , can be great image for B & W conversion

[Ken Watkins]

Harshad,

I think you are right about the B & W, I'll give it a go after we have walked the dogs:S3:

[Ofer Levy]

I have applied some serious levels. You can see the halo, some cloning marks on the right and a few dust spots...:w3

[Ofer Levy]

What do you think about this version?

[Ken Watkins]

Ofer,

Looks like bad cloning to me:t3, just as well I do not post it like that:bg3:

Oh well here is a B & W
