That's cute! Would you mind if I took this into Lightroom and tried to process it a little differently, to give you some ideas?

[DK77]

Actually, I saw you've reprocessed others' photos, so I'm going to assume you're cool with it. :-)

In Photoshop: some quick spot removal, and straightened the window frame with the warp tool

In Lightroom:
Temp +7
Exposure +1.10
Contrast +57
Highlights +56
Shadows +100
Blacks +26
Clarity -12
Saturation +16
Blue Saturation -70 (to remove blue tint from windowframe)
Sharpening + NR
I also added a vignette using the radial filter centered on the face, and painted some negative Highlight onto the bright fur.

I wanted to show how in my opinion the little details (spot removal and straight lines) make a big difference, along with exposure and contrast adjustments. :-)

Thx DK77, your tips quite helpfull, altough i don't own Photoshop, maybe i should .
I usually try not to pp a lot, but the 18-135WR lens isn't the perfect tool to take the picture straight, altough it's a nice walkaround every conditions lens. Waiting to purchase a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 to get better pictures out of the K-3. Anyways, i keep on improving everytime i take pictures.
