    Paul, I'm very impressed.That's not an easy tutorial to get right. I love the HK BG and the pose w/ the eye contact. I might take a slice off the top and burn just the bright spot on back. Very nice work!!

    Awesome work, Paul. I like this a lot - especially the pose and eyes. Great use of the effects.

    Hi Paul, nice image.

    I would suggest adding a little more canvas to the left side. He's a big critter and if he decides to get up I would want him to have all the room he wanted! :eek: :eek: ;) :D

    Otherwise, I would agree with Denise.

    Thank You All....Finished product works very well, tooka sliver off top, added canvas left.
    tried burning but just didn't look right...cloned in hair instead..

    Denise..when I tried to burn the highlight on the back...it came out as a grey/black..I admit, it's a photoshop tool I seldom use, time to learn....what setting's do you use when burning?

    First of all -Really nice repost!!

    For this you could go with the highlight selection and burn at 3% till you obtain the desired effect. But I usually do a curves adjustment on a layer and then mask in over the lighter areas. But for a quick fix the burn tool or the clone tool at a 28% opacity sometimes does the trick.:)

    Really nice Paul, might add a little detail where his arm is resting. Love the eyes and you brought them out very well.
