I don't like the light here especially the shadow through the right eye. Nice low angle.

Agree with John here that the light is a little harsh. Maybe you were looking for that effect though? If not, it's easy enough to brighten those shadow areas and maybe flatten contrast overall. Otherwise, a nice sharp capture of an animal I don't think I've seen before.

Hi Gerhard - I had never heard of a Potoroo so thanks for introducing me to a new species. Nice low pov and sharpness looks good too. The mixed and harsh light was tough to deal with and the shadows are not ideal. Steve has shown you where you can go with the image. As I said, I don't know anything about this species but the other images I see after Googling it do not seem to have as much orange coloring but perhaps there are variations.
TFS,
Rachel

Thanks for the improvements Steve, I will have another go at the raw image when time permits. I may have to look at individual colour channels as Rachael correctly pointed out that this species does not have so much orange colouration, they are mostly a drab grey to blend into shadowy undergrowth.
cheers

Hi Gerhard, the colour in any RP (unless with the Raw to hand) is very subjective and often we have to second guess at times IMHO. I was more concerned about if there was a way perhaps, to think about how turning more of the negatives into positives, but on reflection, I now wonder if some of the issues may have stemmed from PP and simply became more 'visual' to the eye. Perhaps if you have time, just RP the raw straight from camera, but all when time allows.
Good luck.
