Prairie Dog San Diego Zoo San Diego California

This image was created during a session at the San Diego Zoo with nature photographer, Laurie Shupp.
She is truly amazing. Do yourself a favor and visit her website: www.imagesbylaurie.com/
The most important thing that I learned from her is that, like all portraits, it's all about the eyes. This little guy had very shaded eyes. His eye details were brightened using a NIK Software control point. Again the NIK Software suite saves the day.
