Hi John - An interesting image where the man-made element adds a bit of fun rather than detracting from the image. If it were mine I would reduce the blues and cyans in the blacks of the nose and paws.

TFS,
Rachel

My goodness John, does this fellow live in that pipe?

Cute pose and I love those neatly aligned paws and visible claws.

A fun image, see if you can remove those colour casts and maybe add a curve adjustment for a little more "pop". Really cute and I enjoyed viewing

Kind regards,

Gabriela

Hi John, I quite like the idea, but not as presented, you need to crop tighter, the pipe is too dominant and shot lower. The main issue is that the overall image needs more basic refinements ie addressing Exposure to give interest & depth to the image.
