It looks as if your point of focus was a bit far back in the frame. I think you might be happier with the shot if the area from the tip of his nose back past the eyes were sharper,
With animals (people too) the eyes give the photo life. I rarely see a wildlife photo that I think really works that have OOF eyes.
I know the shot was a tad oof, fp being just behind the eyes.
Not making excuses but with about 10 kids running around me, banging into me and filthy glass to shoot through i can live with a tad
I do take your point and i thought it myself, if anybody asks i'll tell 'em the lense is backfocusing.

I've always liked the back-focusing/front-focusing excuse :lol :lol Hey, don't blame me!! It was the lenses fault And do I have a disc drive full of those....lol
Nice shot, with the excpetion of Greapers point. Eyes are pretty much everything.
Sorry guys i haven't replied, i forgot i posted this thread
With regards the eyes, ive just stolen one from another friendly snake, call it PS practice if you like or having to much time on my hands, OK the wifes gone out so i can turn pc on
I think the second pic looks better, sort of, well it only took 5 minutes. She hasn't gone out for long you see
I've always had problems shooting thru something, glass, fences, etc. I seem to get distrated by that stuff and don't concentrate at the job at hand :cry
You done good
Oh, and he is on nasty buger, take my word for it :wow
Cheers Ben,
Now i've had time to look at the shot(it was a bit of a rush last night) i think his new eye suits him and makes him look a lot "meaner" more menacing if you like.
Perhaps i should have a word with the zoo
You seem to be quite sure he's a nasty one, you haven't been bitten by one have you?
