There aren't many badgers up in RMNP but we found this one heading under a drainage pipe. This is the best we could do.

Clearly not on contract to Canon or Nikon if that's the best pose it gave you! :roll: It almost looks as if it has a runny nose....

It looks a bit overexposed- there's not much for detail in the whites. A bit of Curves or Saturation might help.

Rob I like the peaking pose Would crop the top to better match the bottom !! With the light areas you can duplicate the layer and multiply then adjust the opacity should make a huge difference !!!

Love the look !! ...inocnent :roll: 8) 8)

I would consider cropping and the FG and some from the right. There are a lot of artifacts. Perhaps oversharpened?
