Some random wildlife shots.

[moomike]

So many files, so little time :p
Have been sorting through a few of my images & thought I'd see what everyone thought, I know the style of the first is completely different to the other two but it is taken with my new lens & I feel that this will be the direction I'll be following a little more with my wildlife work.
C&C is more than welcome.

I love all three of them.

My favorite is the Red Panda, you were right when you told me it was just "one of those shots where you know its great".

Awesome mate, awesome :)

Nice shots all round Mike, gotta love that Red Panda though:thumbs:

The Flamingo for me. Stands out from the backgroung well & the colour in that beak is something else.

Thanks for the comments everyone - I prefer the flamingo out of the three of them (just looks a bit scary though IMO!). Background was converted to black with a levels adjustment rather than extracting/masking - I had no idea this was possible until I read one of Janice's posts about making the background lighter with levels & the eyedropper (thanks Janice & everyone that contributed to that post, it really gave me some new ideas.) :thumbs:

Thanks Lady :)

Cheers Trev,
Have definately reconsidered my original idea of sending the lens in for calibration! The flamingo is a 100% crop & I am made up with the results.
Cheers again mate, I owe you a pint sometime :thumbs:

[Matt Charlton]

You still owe me a pint too :p

[moomike]

Ssh, or everyone will want one :lol:
