Hi all, i took this picture earlier today. Unfortunately the crop is a bit close. I had my 100 Prime Macro, but could not get further back without scaring the subject. What i would like to know is what enhances i could do in PP. I find it hard to know when to stop sometimes! I just resized, it no further work done. All tips appreciated. Thank you. :)

The crop's fine, very nice closeup. As for PP, increase the fill light and then the recovery to bring back the slightly blown highlights on the flowers. Very nice shot though. :D

Great shot.

Theres very little to do here, conkeroo's version is pretty spot on, but I would increase the exposure a tad, and lighten the green a yellow a tad as well.

A Little ReDynaMix HDR and move some flowers around, sry for the sloppy PS, I did this rather quickly. This, to me, was a perfect image for HDR. It got a littel noisy in the back but I think it works?

I am impressed with the flower editing! Thank you all for the replys. The information is very useful. I will put it to practice tomorrow.:)

There appears to be a blue cast to the image judging by the squirrels fur. If that is the case, it would help to do a white balance correction.
