very nice, certainly very close, think it might have worked better portrait though

Full marks for getting this close :toast:

Agree with Jack over comp, but a nice image :wavey:

Good close up. Portrait would certainly work better I think too.

Cheers for he feedback. I tried portrait but the shot is too tight So I tried a square crop

Lovely detail shot of the head but definitely spoiled by crop. This is one of those shots that just had to be taken in portrait format. Big pity as it is a potentially cracking shot.

Splendid Michael. Perfect use of DOF

Hi Michael,

Too close! Almost unheard of until now! :biggrin: As Andy said Full Marks! Next time Dr Dolittle I suggest a 300mm – however if it was me I’d need an 800mm! :wink:

I absolutely love the eyes in the image! :cool: Superb detail!

Hello Michael

Great shot to get this close, one animal that is coming high on my wish list.

Something very charming about the shot, although, indeed a portrait might have been better but...what the heck!

Very close. Very good.
