Week 4 Ex 3 Tiger

I like Lab mode more. It's like not having the same measure of control in RGB. I did Burn the foreground in CS3 in Lab and in RGB I pulled the curve end down to soften the glare.

Making the light spot on the log darker is a good move, and the burn tool is a great way to accomplish this. 

I would recommend against making the curve slope down.  This is like grabbing a tiger by the tail, because of the danger of solarizing other parts of the image.
