    Looks like it just had a bath !!!! I like it Keith !!!

    Would like some more room all around feels tight in frame !!!

    If there was time and the animal stayed put would have tried a couple different crops One being horizontal with some room up front and the other just the reflection !!! Excellent feel !!! I like it a lot !!

    Keith,

    Due to the high-contrast of the scene, the face and specifically the eye is dark. Using Quick Mask (in PS press Q to enter QM mode) create a selection of the eye and the dark part of the face using the paint brush. Hit Q again to exit QM, shft-ctrl-I to inverse the selection and then create a curves adjustment on that selection. Lighten it up by pulling the curve up (left and up) at the 1/3 to 2/5 mid-tone portion of the curve.

    Nice image. Agree with the crop and room suggestions as well as the lightening of face. Overall a very nice image.

    Thanks guys.
    Robert, You have commented twice now on my images about using the quick mask, do you use it much as it is a process in ps that I do not use at all. If lighting an image or darkening it, I use levels or curves or if selectively lighting or darkening a selected area, I use the dodge and burn brush.
    Interesting to hear your thoughts on this as agree about the eye and wanted to lighten it before posting myself.
