would like to see if anyone could make paw on arm in the pic more visable without comprimising sillouette. Or anything you may feel it might need
thanks looking forward to see the results:rolleyes:

Let me know what you think.
I basically enhanced the highlights in the photo and cropped it so the focus is more on the two subjects.Any CC welcome

It is a little underexposed, and even when "bwpics" highlighted it up a little, it added some red auras to the picture. I would have done some selective highlighting in key areas, hopefully the person who took the shot took it in RAW as it very likely could be saved, but it is pretty much underexposed to the point of data loss (all black) from what I can tell, the closer to the bottom you go.

This is one of those times I would have used center-weighted or spot metering... it is often easier to recover light blown highlights than pitch black.

Thanks Jerryph. As always, you have the words of wisdom.
