portofolioanaluthi 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Wonderful scene and very good choice with the B&W, excellent light, I put it in my favorite, ...beautiful image Mike. Best regards. Link to comment
mikeoday 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks Keith, Christine and Ana for your kind words! This lovely moment between these two has escaped my meagre skill for over a year. With a little more knowledge and experience I have tried to follow the example of others here on PN to burn out the distracting background. I was still unhappy with the colour version (the burn was too obvious) but I was quite surprised and happy with the high contrast B&W conversion. Thanks again for your time and interest. Regards, Mike Link to comment
dgv 1 Posted August 31, 2008 A beautiful shot Mike, in fact very beautiful. The tight crop accentuates the intimacy that these animals have between them. Best regards. Link to comment
RickDB 10 Posted August 31, 2008 ...the B&W conversion works so well, you have bags of mid-tone contrast to enphasize the rough skin texture. I too am coming back to old shots with new knowledge from PN - it really does pay to shoot RAW. Very nice framing too. Cheers, RickDB Link to comment
mikeoday 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Thank you vey much Christoph, Dimitris and Rick for your comments, they are greatly appreciated! Rick, I made a decision when I first came to PN to select and use a common frame to help unify the images in my gallery – of course it is a compromise and works well for some and less so for others. I’m glad you like it - thanks! Regards, Mike Link to comment

jtipton 0 Posted August 31, 2008 This is definitely poster material. Absolutlly Excellent. Forgive the 6/6, it will have to do as the system won't let me rate it a 7/7 which is what it deserves. Jim Link to comment

cherlyn 1 Posted September 1, 2008 Such a warm & tender wildlife picture that touched one's heartstrings. Look at how the young lean against its parent & the parent's loving support. Excellent pic, Mke. Link to comment
