.....

you could improve this if you lightened the shadow on the face and turned down the bright spots a notch, but nevertheless a very nice closeup.

Hi Birty,,,,,

 

Thank you for your response... I had trouble with depth of field being shallow shooting at 4' away w/ a 300mm ... The biggest problem I had was that he kept jumping in and out of the light streaks...

I do see what you mean though that darn shadow,,,,, I have a complete series of these I will be posting ... I spent about 15 min. shooting this begger..:)

I try every day....almost... to get something close to this good. They do a lot of jumping around. Keep trying , this ia a great shot.

Thank You Janis :)

Actually, I like the shadow on this one. It gives the appearance that he is up to something. Good shot.
