Way too cute! And a great close-up. :) I’ll tell you a neat trick for the eyes that I learned earlier this year. (makes them pop right off the screen) Hit the eyes with a semi-light opacity with the dodge tool..(trial and error) and then with the sharpening tool. You’d be amazed at what a big difference just those 2 things’ll do.
Birgitta….......thanks alot for your valued advice, as you can see i blurred all of the photo apart from the eyes. I have just gone back to the original and done what you have said with amazing results. Will be using this technique more often, many thanks Paul. I hope you have had a good christmas.
