Hallo Doyle, de compositie lijkt mij uitstekend goed,Als je het niet erg vind heb ik de foto wat lichter gemaakt,zodat het natuurlijker overkomt! Wat denk je ervan..? Groetjes,riny

You're welcome, Doyle!:)


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 10/18/2007
Thanks Marcus. The zoo here, for the most part, is nicely set up with natural habitats . . . not cages but stone cliffs and water obstacles. This particular habitat, for example, is viewable through two fenced openings about two feet wide on each end and a central viewing window about four feet wide, reflective on the inside. This shot was made through the glass with a misdirected fill flash angled to avoid window glare (Speedlight SB800). Can't stand shooting any animal not looking comfortable or as they would in nature personally . . . makes me feel bad for the animal. This animal is seldom seen and this is the first time I have seen it. It has a large area not visible to the public where he apparently likes to hang out. The flash drew about 8 bystanders who had never seen it either and he romped around for about 10 minutes and then disappeared. Due to the limited viewing size, I took my shots and backed out. :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Hallo Riny:
Gebruikte ik een vulling in flits. Het werd door het glas gefotografeerd. Ik moest het ombuigen om gloed te vermijden. Ik hou van de versie die u ook maakte. Zo waarom deed u verander uw naam? Dank u mijn vriend.

Groetjes,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Doyle -- Crisp and striking shot of this beautiful creature.
Hard to say but I think it would benefit by a quarter to half stop of brightening.
--Best to you, Jan
