Hi
I did this edit of muntjack deer differently , used the clone stamp tool to remove the grass the a selective smart sharpen with a feathering of 5 pixels on the deer, deselect (THEN) did shadows and highlights, the reason for doing shadows and highlights after sharpening, shadows and highlights had no affect before sharpening, then I did a overall smart sharpen of amount 37% with a radius of 3.4, bearing in mind sharpening is normally dun if needed at the end of an editing, what do you think
