I really like this shot, it's the angles of the deers heads.
The colours are great and the the DOF is excellent.

There's one thing that I dont like and that's the rectangular shape above C66's ear. I know it's not much but I find it quite off putting.

I do have a bad habit of being brutally honest and that was the reason for the apology

Keep trying though as you will get there in the end

Paul

Being totally honest here, the shot is far to dark all over the shot. Being a tad lighter would have brought out the colours and the detail, maybe bouncing a flash from the ceiling.

If flash was used then I would have preferred the black and white version.

Unfortunately neither works well, sorry

Paul

I like the crop but not the cobweb being taken out

Just don't like mucking around with a good shot if it's not needed


Paul

This word "Bokeh" is annoying me soooo much. No offence to any of you guys and gals that use it but is it really needed.

Anyway, I would keep the cobweb as it is a natural part of the picture and I personally don't like altering an image unless it's really needed.
I do like cropping though and I think I slight crop about a 3rd of the way down from the leaf would benefit this image. The stalk does look very good but the bottom of the image does look a tad distracting.

Apart from that, nice shot of a delicate flower

Paul

Ooops I misread that


Paul

If I was to list every bit of my photographic gear as a signature, it would probably take up half a page so no
I do have the Signa 105mm though and it's a truly amazing lens

I replace my cards every 6 months maybe less so that doesn't, personally, bother me.

Exactly!!!!

I do weddings and events and actually have a prom this evening. I did have a look at the link and thought it was a good idea, but it would be of no benefit to me.

At an event you want the pictures onto the laptop for a bit of prep before the client sees it. A little tidying up. So I take the card out of the camera and upload it, (these are high quality J-pegs as there is no need for RAW at an event like this).

Then once they have been sorted I load the images onto 2 other laptops for showing. The first laptop is wired up to my pro dye sub. People then place the orders and I print.

Very long winded explanation there, but I would see no benefit in this whatsoever as speed is the essence.


Paul

I have absolutley no idea why I asked you that as it has no relevance to your original post. I must have been having a mad moment
