Otters and a Wallaby

[Lady Pitstop]

Whilst on holiday in Cornwall we visted an Otter santuary. Cute little things but they don't stay still for long :D the wallaby was more obliging ;)

So I thought I would try out my new lens for the first time and these are the results. The otters aren't as sharp as I'd have liked :( but that's because of poor technique rather than the lens!!!) :D

Awwww ... really good otter shots.
Wally is not bad either, pin sharp, but I'm not enthused with the background.

I found that with my 70-300mm - seemed slightly soft at first but once I started using it properly it got sharper :D

I like the otter shots but like OG I think the kangaroo thingy needed a different background.

otter shots are great, they are too cute ! and the kangaroo shot is good but im agree with the comments about the backround

[Lady Pitstop]

Thanks guys for your comments. I couldn't really do much about the background in the last one as it was in a wooded area. :)

Great images, and excellent detail.

The first otter is a corker! Other two are good as well! Wallaby's eye is pin sharp! Nice shots!

:agree: But I'm going to go against the grain here & say that I quite like the background in the wallaby shot too, toning is very nice & ties in well with the image imho :thumbs:

Nice ones! Sharp! You can see reflections in the wallabys eye! lovely captures :thumbs:

Thanks once more for your comments everyone. Still practising with the lens, hope to get some birdy shots but not been too successful so far :)
