    Lousy shot maybe, but be an optimist. Now its motivation to setup the camera outside, rig up the remote with a long lead (build your own if you have to - radioshack is your friend), sit, and wait...

    and wait...

    and wait... and wait...

    I think you did as best you could. You took the shot under less than ideal circumstances. Whenever you ask the question "can Photoshp save this pic" the answer will normally be a resounding no. PS can improve a good shot but it can't save a bad shot.

    You did a very good processing job on the shot and got a decent result. thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I thought about that and I do have a blind.
    But it's 15F outside and I see deer in my backyard maybe once or twice a month.
    They are there at night but daylight hours usually nada.

    Not about to sit in my blind and freeze my.......eek7.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Thanx Harry....I kinda figured that was about as good of a save as could be expected.

    Yeah I know CS2 is a great program but only so much can be done.
