[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 284259, member: 9240"] [b]Re: Wud's project 365[/b] I don't know that I would have looked to darken it to hide it as much as to obscure it as much as possible. Without seeing the unedited shot I don't know just how possible that is, but (I'll save you my example) I did a quick edit with PSE 9 (all I have on this machine) and if I had the tools to select properly around the whiskers I think it would have been very convincing after lowering the contrast and adding additional blur to everything to the right and behind the cat. Even just the addition of a more blurry background might have helped, even though you have nice bokeh as is. Or you could mitigate most of the problem with a square crop. Here's my edit with just added blur and the square crop. Admittedly it gives the lion less room to move, so maybe a 4:5 crop would have been better - but you get the idea.
