Untitled

only been at this about 5 months. 1st roll of slide film.

Not bad Ken. Only thing I would say is that it might have been better to make this photograph with the sun at your back. His/her eyes are in too dark of a shadow from overhead light and a side light would have been more kind. Otherwise a nice shot. kevin

I know that birds will look into the sun, but I'm not sure about orangutans. Is there any way to tell which animals will look into the sun and which won't? If you don't want the eyes shaded, you might need an overcast day or animal could be in the shade.

I like the image, but, as already said, the lighting is way off.

A little fill flash would have taken care of the shadows around the eyes. Flash really isn't that hard to learn and can make all of the difference in the world.

 

 

 

Pretty good, I don't know what lens you were using or how close your were, but a bit of fill flash to reemove some of the shadows around the eyes would have been nice.
