Perfect timeing, you caught him at just the right moment he looked at your camera
Superb!


Tom Svensson   {K:4} 6/7/2005
Really nice and super sharp


Mike Middendorffi   {K:371} 6/7/2005
Very well done. . .always a happy catch with perfect DOF and a few sharp but subdued details in the foreground with your subject.

Very well framed, but can't help thinking the colours are slightly weak - and looks a little under exposed (a very little).
Perhaps the teleconverter is to blame?

James What fabulous detail and colours. I would die for those eyelashes :) you can almost count them. His coat looks so silky and his ears so velvety he/she is beautiful and your composition is perfect in every way 7++++++++++++

Thanks for your comment Phil. The colors might look week because it was an overcast, dull day, and I didn't punch it up to make it look fake. Why do you say it looks underexposed? I doubt the TC effected anything you commented on. It does make the images just a tad softer, but nothing you'd notice at the resolution I post at here.

Thanks Margaret. I love the eyelashes too. I've attached a 1:1 crop of her left eye from the original so you can start counting. :)



Margaret Sturgess   {K:49403} 6/7/2005
Thanks James it is gorgeous - you can count them :). It really shows how fabulous the image is to have such a close crop and still be so sharp/detailed and lovely Margaret

Fantastic wildlife shot, perfect composition and cut. Great technical.
Congrats.

excellent !

I think it was the border throwing my eye off. When I took it out in PS it looked a lot better.
I say that about TC's because in my experience they often leave you with unsaturated and underexposed shots unless you compensate for it.
Nice work.

He was checking you out........beautiful, you do this sooooo well!


James Hager   {K:6285} 6/8/2005
Thanks Darlene. You're not bad with the birds either. :)


James Hager   {K:6285} 6/8/2005
Thanks for the additional info Phil. I've never had any trouble with color saturation or exposure with my Canon TC.
