I posted this because I like the simplicity - hope it works for you :biggrin:

Floating hide shot - not that I need it for these guys, as I'm certain if they could talk they'd be saying "Hello matey boy, watcha doin' in there then??" and "where's me Hovis??" :biggrin:

Another one of those images that doesn't compress all that well - there's more detail in the neck on the tiff and the BG looks a bit nicer.

Usual stuff
D300
300-800 @ 800mm
ISO 400
1/1000th @ f9

PP Bibble Pro and CS3

Sorry to post something a bit more 'run of the mill' subject-wise but I couldn't help myself - thanks for looking :toast: :toast: :toast:

Certainly 'pops' good that the head is in the lighter part of the background-works for me
