Up Periscope!

[Brendan Dozier]

Found this one going through last years files. Rotated, added some canvas on top, cropped, ACR, CS5, evened out BG with some cloning, lightened eyes a bit.

Thanks, Marc - This one kind of looks like a Dalmatian of the sea!

Hi Brendan, doing this remotely so might not be right, but initial impression looks a little 'washed out' relating to the sea (sorry couldn't resist that one :bg3:)

Just tweaked the sea to bring out more depth, detail & colour, but the colour was not changed through tweaking various colours, seal was as OP, WDYT?

Looks very good, Steve. Was it contrast and levels in PS mostly? I had done quite a bit of tweaking on this already, so was a bit timid to go bolder - maybe somewhere in between would be perfect.

Agree with Steve original looked a bit washed out, his repost best.
