Amazing photo Rachel, I like the little teeth showing & chomping on the kill. Those strong little claws clasping on the leg shows he wouldn't want to let go of his piece!! Comp looks good but maybe a square crop with less on top and more to the right as we see it could also work?
cheers

Thanks Sanjeev. As I said this is ff, so no more room to the right. Most of the distracting foliage was to the right so I was trying to keep it to a minimum with this comp. I wanted to shoot tight on the face but in hindsight perhaps a little more room below and less on top would have worked better. Yes, I could easily go square here.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Wow that's good, such well developed claws yet the teeth are so small.
I keep reading about these luminosity masks - how or what did you do and why????

Thanks Jon, the best way to learn about Luminosity Masks is to Google "Tony Kupyer" and then read some of his tutorials and info. He also sells plug-ins that some people use. This thread in the Digital Photography Workflow forum explains how to do the most basic luminosity mask to tame highlights and an inverse luminosity mask to lighten the darkest areas:

Rachel, great details and lovely eyes. I'd suggest go for a 4:3 format and take some off the top. Loi

Hi Rachel , very nice detail and overall clarity . Love the eyes. Very well processed with good colors .
Only the framing is not ideal i think . You have too much space on top . So i would rather suggest a square as my SA sister
or a 4x3 as per Loi. Or even better you should have more space on LHS and bottom , but i guess you do not !

Hi Rachel, yep, a very nice encounter albeit slightly smelly/gory. Personally I would have liked the framing to have been slightly lower with more space at the foot & less above. IF this is FF then I would consider loosing some space above.
