Critique Hunting Zebra

TimmyG · 7 Mar 2015

Well since @mattd85 found a jumper yesterday I thought I'd better get out into the garden and do some hunting. The sun was shining and it wasn't long before I found them. A couple of species and a juvenile zebra, but this was my favourite of the session:

Nice! Did you do much editing on the fangs?

Lovely starter for 10.

I have to wait 2 more weeks for them to appear up here. In '14 the first was on then 25th, in '13 it was the 23rd (both March)...

Thanks Matt! You mean because it glows with the fires of Hell?

Post-processing consisted of merging in the front of the pedipalps and front legs from a separate frame to bring them into focus, slight vignette, touch of sharpening and WB. Didn't touch the fang at all, it must have just caught the light

LOL, fair enough

Well you're at a similar latitude to me (Leeds) even if it does rain more your way

I would expect there to be some around your area about now...
