Hey Grady,
Not sure about clipping the ears. Everything else is nice and sharp. I figure the BG is a bit distacting..........so that's why the ears are clipped. If that is the case.......going a bit tighter may help.
Beautiful animal, I'm having a tough time with the comp. I also struggle with portraits, as in how tight to get. I don't like any tighter crops I tried so I would stay with this myself. I like the expression too. Very nice.
The clipped ears are bothersome to me too. THis type of image and the tight crop can be very hard to figure out. I suggest frame loose when you make it and sort it out later.
Robert, Roman and Paul, how about this one? I actually did crop the last posted image trying to put her more off centered. Here is a much fuller version.
Hey Grady,
I did a clean up of the needles on the right using the patch tool. I did a crop............that put it dead center.......just to show the comp. I could go without the crop.....but the clean up is worth the effort. I also lightened the eyes a bit through levels and contrast. Let me know your thoughts on it.
Tessa, Wolf Hybred
