Another possum friend
Went back to the wildlife preserve near my house and found another possum creeping through the underbrush. This if full frame. Only slight saturation adjustment and slight sharpening in the eye. I'm not sure if the whites are blown or just natural for a possum.
Late afternoon. iso 400 . 5.6, 1/60
Hazel,
Cool to see one of these out and about in light you can actually shoot in ( I am noting the shutter speed - BTW, please let me know the camera and lens - I would recommend ISO 800 here netting you a faster speed).
Does not look like focus was achieved on the eye. The 1/60 sec speed may have been the problem. I would agree that the whites look to be over-exposed on on the edge of being. Try ACR recovery slider if you have PS or LR.
agreed with RA he here , great advise

Agree with the above re: bumping the iso. Robert has given some good advise above. I like the chosen comp, just a pity about the lack of sharpness/focus.

Thanks. I'll keep working on it.
This is a definite "what a pity" shot, if only you had more light and/or more ISO this would have been a stunner
I have tried a little selective sharpening on the face, brought down the whites in selective colour and added a little "oomph". What do you think?
Agree on the comments here, Ken's repost is a big improvement.

Oh, so much better! Ken, may I ask the foolish question? When you say selective sharpening, do you mean the sharpening tool in PS? I find that when I try to use this, I can easily get funny little lines in the photo. Is there another tool you are using? Thanks. Still learning....
Hazel,
As this is a little long winded, I have sent a response via PM.
" Stll learning' we all are.
Cheers
Ken
