A Star Is Born

This set of "hand-prints" from one of our local racoons reminded me of the hand-prints of stars in the sidewalk in Hollywood.

The prints were made in mud, so I used some pp to bring out the texture of the actual grains. From the depth of the prints, he has been eating very well.

I hope you like this. My little friend spent a lot of time placing his paws in between the leaf and the bird-printed "arrow" :cool:

As a "tracker" I really like the Racoon tracks and that leaf image on the left and the bird track on the right are a great additions. The contrast seems too strong to me.
