Ian never be afraid to darken your images a little to bring out the colour saturation. If you look at your shot it's just a tad 'wishy' and light, and images straight out of the camera tend to be on the over-exposed side anyway. I just dropped the gamma slightly, gave it a sharpen and cleaned his teeth.
 Tell me to bugger off I don't mind! |

oooh I am a huge cat fan. Their such huge beasts aren't they? Gotta love em! Those are all great shots Ian. My fave is the tiger shot that CT liked as well. Looks like he's telling someone to f*** right off,lol. It's wonderful to see the teeth and the piercing eyes. Well done! I on the other hand don't mind the yellow teeth. Although they don't look that appealing, he is a tiger. Not too many carry toothbrushes
 Adds to the the whole feel of the pic IMHO. The shot of the paw is an interesting shot too. How did you get that. Did you ask to shake hands??Jewel. Last edited by jewel : 11-08-2005 at 14:16. |
