Nature Kenny-Cats-Eyes

DaveHolmes · 08-25-2010, 12:58 PM

Still learning, had K-x over a month now. First DSLR. Love it!

Had trouble getting both Kenny's eyes looking right...

This was the best of a bad bunch of shots...

I'm not using any software except Irfanview to re-size, all PP is done on K-x.

Please begin abuse... :-)

I really like the colors here, but think that the edges are just a little bit too bright.

If I remember rightly, I put it through the HDR filter then the retro (which I really like and use frequently to warm) and the boosted the contrast and played with the shading in the 'custom' filter which gave an overexposed look to the edges that I kinda liked on a 2.7" screen!! LOL!

Any advise on getting cats eyes right? I use centre focus point and recompose as a general rule... Is this a bad habit I need to break?
