I dont normally visit this section, so hopefully my image is appropiate. I wanted to convey the rim light around the baboons, so I have darkened the surrounding BG completely.

WOW! Stuart, I hope you visit this forum more often. I really like the rim light and the black BG. My only thoughts would be to get the fur on the Baboons to be more wispy and less cut out. Re-mask by Topaz does a great job w/ that. I believe they offer a free trial period. Just google Topaz and then select re-mask. This image IMO is really worth the fix.:)
Nice image and application, Stuart.
Welcome to OOTB.
Very nice BG effect and agree with Denise on the fur detail.
Denise, Mark, thanks a stack.
Denise, I agree about the edges and will definately look into Topaz. Thanks for your guidance - appreciated.
Hi Stuart, have you tried also playing around in levels too, just to see?
Will be please to see the results in Topaz too.
Steve
Stuart, welcome to OOTB and a stunning image:)
Hey Stuart,
This one rocks!!! I agree with Denise on the softening and will offer one more thing to try....small dodge tool.....just get some of the really dark edges out a bit more.......small tweaks will make this even more stunning!
Stuart, when I saw the thumbnail I couldn't imagine what this would be. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this amazing image! Big welcome to this corner of BPN!! I really like this image a lot and your thoughts and processing to get it where it is are what OOTB is all about. Very nicely done! Suggestions above will make it even stronger.
Thank you all so much for the kind words. Much appreciated.
This is one stunning image Stuart.
Thank you so much Hilary.
Wow! Ditto stunning image Stu! Very striking and moody.:)
this is very nice Stu - would love to see your repost with softer edges!!
