i noticed after posting it to the web that it apears just a tad too sharp and i think that may have been to the way i saved it .. but if I had done it properly it would have apeared about 1 - 2 stops darker

wonderful capture composition everything except that the thing with digital cameras it they seem to make everything too bland and not enough contrast between light and dark and thats just not how we see the animal

here is my edited version of your picture All copyright rights are still yours. I just wanted to show you the wonders of two tools in photoshop
LEVELS and COLOR BALANCE



ALL I DID WAS moved the levels from left to right alittle and from the right to left then adjusted the midtones to be a tad bit brighter .. i dont know what you were going for as far as mood but if you use the middle bar in levels that will allow you greater creative control

then i got rid of some color casting from the foggy dim light and tinted it more to the warm tones cyan to red blue to yellow and green to magenta slightly
then i saved for web and wrote this email total elapsed time 5 mins

Paris Hilton? Nice shot. I would like to have seen the wall behind her without her shadow on it.
