Hello again Leigh!
Thank you for your reply, please take a look at the sticky "save for web" by Steve Kaluski and "sharpening actions-free" by Morkel Erasmus-you might find some valuable information there regarding your final steps in processing.
I now understand your reasons for cropping this way and I do see the outline of the little one's body, it's just that somehow he seems a bit "lost" for me in that field (perhaps you wanted to achieve that effect, but the image overall does not convey the message strong enough, to me). He is indeed very cute and I would not have resisted taking a photo of him

let us see some more images of this cutie-pie, never mind the tongue, would love to see what he looks like
Kind regards,
