Not posted a shot on here for a while so here goes..

One from a rather uninspiring day at Donna Nook but this little lady gave me a few shots.

Wished I'd been able to get the lens a few inches lower but it was flat on the sand as it was - not quite what I wanted.

D3
200-400 f4
1/640th @ f10 +1.3EV
ISO 2000

LR 2.5 & CS3

A great result despite not being quite what you wanted Andy - well done

Forgot your spade.... May not have been quite what you wanted but it is a very fine result anyway...

Posted by Sandra Hendrikse on October 22, 2009 at 4:21 AM

Maybe not quite what you wanted, but the result is fantastic. Very aesthetical. Well done.

Thanks Jeff & Sandra..

Phil - I never carry a spade just incase I dig myself into a deep hole

Andy,

Lovely image, I like the way the subject appears from the background very effective.

The treatment works very nicely. It may not be what you were after, but a great result even so.

I like that Andy, it's not easy to get an unusual seal image from Donna Nook. I like the strong eye contact as well.

I'm afraid I don't like the vignetting effect on this one Andy. It looks a bit like a seventies wedding picture

I would be very happy to get a shot like this that wasn't what I really wanted

Lovely eye contact - reminds me I must pluck my eyebrows

Andy I just wonder if you had breathed in whether you could have got a few inches lower

Posted by Ian Mason on October 22, 2009 at 6:08 PM
