Went back to get this little one at the top of the mound for a cleaner BG. I layed flat for 20 minutes till this little beauty got enough nerve to emerge all the way to the top of the burrow mound. I also tried it wide open to lessen the clutter. The DOF is shallow as I was close, but the focus is good on the eyes and face. Like the other images, created right before sunset at Brian Picollo Park.

This one is way, way better with a perfect BKGR and a cute little guy with panatloons. I would select the irises with QMs and lighten them with a Levels ADJ (Cntrl M).
