:roll: :roll: Not only are they different to your 'norm' they are different to normal zoo shots as we see no animals and are the four images all the same? :? :?

Number 3 is quite nice. The other three don't do anything for me... :lol:

Daniel, seeing double-double.

nice and sharp where it needs to be, simple composition and the background colour/ bokeh is beautiful. i'd clone out the dead branch bottom right though.

My preferences are number 2 & 4. Number 3 with the bird does nothing for me. Nothing to keep my interest. Love the crop of and subject placement of number 2 and the expression in number 4 is priceless.


Nice Series

Nice pics.

I think the last one is a bit 'flat' for a black and white....what's it like in colour? The baboons have some great expressions.

I like the composition on the Siamang pic.

I like all of these shots. I think they each work and have a simple construction and a strong point of interest. They are also technically competent. Great work!

Thanks for the comments guys, yeah i agree about the contrast in the last, i wasn't happy with the conversion and being away from home, ive only been using picasa to work images. But have just had a go with CS3 on the last.

On a side note has anyone else noticed picasa introducing noise when shooting .nef files??
