It's been a while... glad to see you're still out there shooting. I'd be interested in seeing this with sharper contrasts between black and white. This sepia look is nice but I'm not sure it highlights the texture and pattern of the fur as well as a sharper contrast monotone image. It might also help the eyes pop a little more as well. Perhaps something to experiment with.

Thanks Jim...now with the Bay Area at my backdoor you'd think I could get out of the yard once in awhile :)
I have printed this @ 13 x 19 in both the warmer and the black and white...my problem with the black and white is that I lose some of the detail in the darker areas...but I think that is because I am printing with only one black and the grays really don't show as well...I am experimenting with both versions on different paper too...I think eventually I need a printer with more than one black...nice to know you are hanging around too...

Leslie no doubt a printer with multiple black cartridges would help, but no matter what printer you're using balancing your contrast/curve adjustments with masked adjustments and/or dodging would help you get that detail you're looking for. It may take some time to get just right though.

Okay, Leslie, I keep coming back to this one. I love the texture. You just did such a nice job on this lovely image.

Mine looks like this one ...... but you'd never guess it from the pics I take of him.
Leslie, do his ears need to be this sharp?........... I know you sharpen to upload but I'm wondering how pulling the ears back with a little softening would look. I promise not to practice on your picture though :)

you may practice all you like John...the ears are a bit too sharp for the upload, but I wish you could see the print, perfect IMO...13 x 19, full frame...a favorite of mine!...However, you've given me an idea for a different version with a different pose...maybe I'll play a bit more...
