Great capture Can, the focus looks pretty good to me. I have found that manual focus works best when trying to shot stuff through glass. Excellent pose. You have to wonder what he's thinking.

Regards,
Joe

Joe is right that manual focus works best through glass but image quality, never-the-less will suffer. I love nature and wildlife shots and have done a few myself.

This is pretty good. I did check it . . . and I think minor adjustments in light levels and an unsharpen mask on just the eyes would make a WORLD of difference. I have attached an example. The eyes are the key . . . regardless of the rest . . . if the eyes are sharp the image (IMO) is much better!!

Well done anyway - wonderful pose!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

For Your Consideration :)

Hi Doyle the eyes in sharp focus is aways my first priority. Thanks for the tip on using the unshapen mask on just the eyes. In this case I think it totally changes the his expression and he no longer looks to be in Deep Thought.

I really like this image. You even got a catch light in his eye.

Thank you very much for your comments and photo-fix. I did some level adjustments and image sharpening, though I tried to sharpen the entire picture. Sharpening just the eyes look much better.

Very nicely done. Great capture of a great creature. Shots such as this are important to the survival of his species. We can never become "too" educated. Thanks. -john
