Contrast mainly, and the few remaining niggles were burned & cloned.

I agree and it was the main regret I had - the off center bothered me too, but alas it was all so rushed (the editing).

.

Thanks to all the commenters and the voters - glad some liked it and felt it 'fit'. A fun challenge that I hope to see again (including a Basic *&* an Expert Editing one).

This is so bizarre. I keep looking at it. What a great job isolating the parts - almost like a sundae with a cherry on top.

Total success in turning an 'animal' shot into an 'art' shot! I like it.
