1. Wonderful shots
I especially like the second monkey and the brown bears.

2. Really great shots
I really like the composition but you might want to bump the sharpening down a tad on the tiger it's doing something a little funky to the whiskers.

3. Yeah I know about the tiger...
Edited on Sat May-23-09 05:08 PM by Johnny Noshoes
it happened when I reduced the size of the original down to a DU friendly size. I tried a few different things but they only made it look worse. I'm using the SilverEFX plugin for Photoshop to create the images - best $200 ever spent. It works with PaintShop Pro as well - which is what I use. The tiger was also shot through glass but I don't know if that matters or not.

a couple of days ago so I'm still playing around a bit with it. Did you try a control point near the whiskers and reducing the Structure in the original then reduce it to fit?

7. I caught him yawning.
Well at least I think it was a him. I had the camera set for continuous shooting and got lucky :-)

8. I really like the monkey/ape shots
especially the yawning one, and the bears. You do realize that tiger is eyeing you up for lunch?
