I took this photo in Africa and I would like to enlarge it but I'm not sure what to do with the color. The photo was taken in the early morning and I don't know if I should keep all the orange. What would you do? Any other editing tips?

Well that is the colour of early morning light often. You can alter the white balance if you shot RAW. He looks very healthy. it could do with a little sharpening too.

i'm with condyk - it IS the colour of morning....

I can see why you want a big print.

Image making is all about the light and what you have captured says it all with that lovely soft morning light. So yes PP to sharpen it as to taste and make a nice big print for the wall ~ wonderfull :D


That was a great meal ~ you must have a good set of pans :p

He looks pretty good on my monitor, go ahead and print it and let us know how it came out.

Thank you. That's the natural light at that time and I guess that's how I'll keep it. I'll do some sharpening.

What would I do? Well, knowing it was breakfast time, and given that your subject is looking at you with the same interest I look at eggs and bacon, I'd say "I would run." =)

What a beautiful, amazing cat! Nice photos, too.

It's all a matter of personal taste. As for me,I'd tone it down a little and sharpen.
