I like the compostitions in general but have trouble wtih distiinguishing between the subjects and the backgrounds. Maybe you can play with levels, saturation, USM and even contrast to try to bring the subjects into our focu... Just a thought

Sorry, and thanks -- you were right!

Hi lambard, I like the giraffe shot but I wish he did'nt have all the stuff in front of him (or her) I think both shots would benefit from a little curve maybe?:D

lambad

Thanks to both of you. I understand what you mean, cmr164. lynnma, i don't know why, but i do really like all the stuff in front of him--i like this shot alot, which gos to show u i hav alot 2 lern.

I think the Rhino picture #2 would be a nice B&W.With the proper treatment.
The plants infront of the giraffe are distracting,and the crop of the Rhinos does not suit me.Keep posting

Hello,

Will check back tomorrow to see if you two can view the pics yet.... also, lynnma (or other) -- what's the proper way to add my location under my dgrin name? I tried, and succeeded, but it's still not in the same space as yours and others. Thanks.
