Hi RK - I have been able to increase the exposure slightly. Any more and it ruins the texture on the fur, which makes the picture for me.

Hi Victor - I have been able to touch up the worst of the specks. I think that helps. The "greyish blob just to the right of the snout" is actually more hair sticking out on the other side of his face, out of focus. I don't think there's a lot I can do about that. He's a hairy chap :)

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Nice guinea pig portrait. Just two quibbles. On the lower left portion of the body are some dark specks. I find them distracting. Same with the greyish blob just to the right of the snout (behind the whiskers). It looks like the latter may be the result of an attempt to remove some background or something. -- Victor

Gyles, you nailed the eye on this one.
A tad more exposure will have more impact... I think. If you shot this in raw, can you try upping the exposure a bit to see how it looks. Thanks.

It's high key to me! And, very high cuteness too! Good job, Gyles! ~Sharon

I don't know whether this would be considered high key by everyone, but very, very cute Gyles! :-) CJ

At least 15 out of 10 on the "cuteness" scale ! :-) Lovely capture. Regards Nico

This is cute and really well composed Gyles.

I love the crisp yet subtle texture of this capture and that eye is priceless.

Terrific Gyles ~ Regards Bob
