A litte bit of macro, and a little bit of cropping. Here's are the original, and cropped versions. I usually don't crop, or very little. This is cropped more than I usually do. This is where high MP count matters, but still imo, hight MP count is over rated.

Original version

Cropped version

Caught you looking by phuviano, on Flickr

A question for you phuviano... I understand the need to brighten the crop but what software are you using that you couldn't maintain the saturation of the green while brightening it?

Just to add high MP count matters also when making really big enlargements for printing.

I could keep the saturation on the background, but I was actually going for a less saturated look. As the eyes pop out a little more imo with the less saturated background.

oh, I'm using Lightroom.

Ok thanks, I see it was an editing decision... personally I would be tempted to keep more of the green and up the saturation on the eyes... I think they would pop even more due to the colour contrast. Just MO.

Yeah, just a personal decision. I did a quick mock up of what you suggested, and it looks good like that as well.

Sorry, left the house for a bit.

Picture is not the exact crop, as I already deleted the first edited version in LR. So I had to re-crop.

edit: now it looks like i cropped a little more, oh well.
