Step Seven: Final adjustments

I could stop here if I wanted to, but there's something about the image that I'm not happy with. The ears don't look right at all (they're too thin and flat), so I decide to repaint them.

I begin by using the Paintbrush to sketch new, more rounded ears on top of the old ones...

Next I use the Eraser tool to further refine the shape of the ears.

Then I use the Marquee tool to select the image again, and I use the Airbrush tool, as before, to shade and soften the new ears.

Also, the rabbit's front foot needs some work. It fades into the grass too much, so I use the Paintbrush and Airbrush tools to define it a little more. I also use the Smudge tool to pull the shadow further out from under the foot.

The finished image looks like this:
