Been trying every night for over 5 weeks to get Freda & Freddie to come in daylight but no joy. I live in a rural location but have houses around me (and then surrounded by fields). Decided I will have to make the best of things so have taken pictures with outside lights on through the French doors. Not ideal by any means but here goes.

Good to see your patience and effort is paying off Maggie :cool:

Great stuff.
I reckon a tight vertical crop would make this really in your face.
Just my humble opinion.

Always a thrill when the wildlife comes to you and you've made the best of the situation.
Did you set the WB for the artificial lights? Looks a little orangey to me.But then what do I know about correct colours! :biggrin:

Phil. :toast:

Glad to see the hard works paying off :smile:

I agree with John re the crop.

Thanks John and Ian. Next image will try tighter vertical crop. Thanks Phil have changed the WB for the next image. Think indeed it looks better.
David - You have got 3D on the brain. Better than water I suppose :eek: :eek: :wink:

Those eyes are fantastic, an opportunity well taken. I like the intensity of the colour and its warmth but it would be interesting to see a cooler version too :toast:
