looks like you may have pushed the blues too much.

Comment by RHoldenSr:
This Cougar was setting atop a rocky cliff right against the chain link fence. I had to do a quick paint (does not mean I did it quick, it was very tedious work) mask and do a gaussian Blur. Otherwise it looked like crap. The spot above the tongue is where his to fangs met and you see a small opening through the mouth.

Photoshop:
Level adjustment
Shadow higlight - minor to bring detail out around eye
Quick paint mask
Gaussian blur to blur out chain link fence

There's a very strange bit just under the top middle of the mouth opening. Other than this, a very fine photo. 7

This shot was an accident :)
I was practicing the panning technic and the second biker ran past.
So I entered it just for the heck of it.
I knew the first biker was not clear enough for a real good score.
