Hi Mark, love your pics, particularly No 8. Any chance you could share the Exif please. Your PP work is ace too. I recall you were advising us on how to lose the wire fence in PS, would be grateful for a recap on that too.
Ta very much

Excellent, thanks for that Mark. Looks to be about the same aperture and speed as mine on many of the pics. So must be down to the PP work then. Waiting patiently for a detailed step by step how to manipulate pics and turn them into a work of art Que Mark
Sorry for the delay, I have CS4 & Elements 7 but only use CS4 for very heavy processing, all the were shot raw & processed in Elements. The jaguar started out like this:
Obviously the lack of contrast was caused by the fence wire. So I opened it in camera raw & adjusted as best it would go then opened it in elements, duplicated the background layer & changed the blend mode to softlight then reduced the opacity till it started to look ok. I then stamped visible to create a new layer from the two visible layers below and used the burn tool at about 5% on the shadows & then some minor tweaking with the high light & shadow enhancement tool & a levels layer. after which it was cropped resized & sharpened.
Hope this helps.
