you can do everything but can you still call it a photo afterwards, it's afterall a photoforum not an artforum?

Well here it is, 10 seconds of work since I'm a photographer not a photoshopper
Original (just to end the discussion with cameras & lightroom 2.3 standard presets)
[IMG]http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk244/Anvh/IMGP2410.jpg[/IMG]
the edit
[IMG]http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk244/Anvh/IMGP2410edit.jpg[/IMG]
Adjusted the white balance, sharpend it and softlight layer at 30%. Just the standard thing I mostly do.
So was this the idea behind it, I can of course make some fairies dance in the light???

No but it is nice to see what the photo is about, now it's a click into the darkness. Also you need a base to compare the photo with, so on unadjusted jpg would be great.

Don't worry Amin we love you
Photo 3 is very to my liking and photo 6 would have been great if you also had his chin in the frame
With photo 2 you should have used a fill in flash, his face is just a bit too dark. During bright days it's quite wise to use the flash to filling in the shadows, so get used to it before you go to Africa.
photo 10 and 11 are also very pleasant to look at and 14 is very cute.
Nice shots Amin!

I could allso wait for the availability of the new DA*60-250 which allso looks very nice. That combined with a 1.4 or 1.5 converter will look nice as well. I have been reading into the different TC's and it looks like the Tamron 1.4TC outperforms the Kenko one and both support SDM (well they support powerzoom but luckily Pentax used the same contacts for SDM).
I believe I heared end april that the 60-250 will come so lets hope & wait.I could allso wait for the availability of the new DA*60-250 which allso looks very nice.

Someone on the Dutch pentaxforum has them both and tested them on the FA*300 4.5 so no SDM, but he sayed they look very much alike even the magnifications is the same. The Tamron is very hard to come by these days but the kenko can be orderded from a shop without much trouble.

They seem to have two groups of gorillas now. This group was sitting inside and there was one group in the new outdoor area, so I ain't sure it was Bokito.

You ofcourse will use it on the long end with the 55-300, don't know how well it will work though with a 2x TC maybe the Kenko 1.5x might be a better option, 2x might be pushing it in my eyes.
