You do get some good opportunities Paul - that's for certain :toast:

The tail is a bit tight - you'd be better cropping the tree with the bottom of the frame only in this case. Adding a bit more canvass to the left to bring it back into something like standard proportions and comp wise it would be perfect :wink:

But I've got to say it looks like either this is a real massive crop, or your processing has gone a bit 'wonky' mate.

Which is it? :confused:

Your posted image is only 45Kb in size, why have you done it at such a low quality setting - it's not doing your image any favours mate :frown:

Hi Paul,

Have to agree with Andy. Have another go at this and you will have a cracker. A shot that I can only dream of getting in my neck of the woods.

Regards

Rob

Hi guys,
The crop is only around 30 to 40 of the original.
looks like I got the old problem again at ISO 200 should not have this prob?

So a repost?

Hi Paul could you send me the original NEF as a zip file, I think the image has plenty of potential, I was never overly impressed with either of my 600 when they had a converter attached.

Andy... :smile:

Hi Paul although the image you sent me seemed quite soft I have done a little work on it and made a print out of it to go on canvas what you think.

Phillip.

Ps it does look a little strange as is not on canvas
