What do I think about what? I wasn't asking that anything be changed with the image. I already have several different versions on my machine, most of which have a different effect (less contrast, less saturation, etc.). This one was done using a new PS plug-in and I was wondering what people thought about the processing.

On one hand, I like the saturation and contrast. On the other hand, it's a little too yellow/orange for me.

This has nothing to do with the processing, but the OOF tree trunk bugs me a little.

Yeah, Pookie was playing hide and seek with us that day. She'd peek around one side of the tree, then peek around the other. It was kind of fun.

It might be cool to see the original in order to see what the plug-in did to it.
I like the sharpness and texture of the cat but not too fond of the overly yellow color balance.

No offense was intended. I thought it looked too yellow as well and as your ID says it's okay to edit your images I felt free to do so. It won't happen again.

Since you asked for our thoughts . . . too yellow for my taste; makes it look like the temp is off. Love the photo itself, just not the PP.

No worries. I didn't mind the edit, it's just not what I was asking for.

I agree with everyone about the yellow tint. I noticed it, too. Let me go back and re-work it a bit to see what I can come up with.
