76 Jul 24 Reply Thanks Jay. Some day I might get a macro lens, but for now I have to get along with the extension tubes. Jul 28th
76 Jul 24 Reply Thanks Ian. I night have another look at the area behind the legs - it was a bit hard to soften the background without loosing the leg detail. Jul 22nd
76 Jul 24 Reply Thanks Trey. FIAP/PSA rules for nature say "Adding a vignette or blurring the background during processing is not allowed." So that excludes this version of the image - I could of course try a less processed version, or even try this in an open competition. Jul 22nd
76 Jul 24 Reply Thanks Sophie. You are correct that blurring is not allowed for competitions, so this one is just for me. Unfortunately I do not have a macro lens, but an extension tube is quite light, so it's easy to carry on the off chance of seeing a good subject. F8 was wide open with my lens at that focal length!

76 Jul 24 Comment Well your granddaughter looks like a proper dancer, and I think the diagonal presentation against black really works. You have left a bit of reflection under her hand and front foot, but her back foot is a bit hanging in space - could you leave a bit of reflection there as well just to provide a sense of grounding? A good one for the family album. (PS was it really F28, or F2.8?) Jul 8th
76 Jul 24 Comment A great image of the pair of brothers. It really does look like they are strutting around as the kings of the jungle. I would have got a bit closer, then a bit closer still - no, just kidding!! You are close enough to pick out lots of detail in the lions and your shallow depth of field works for this image, so well done. Jul 8th
76 Jul 24 Comment Now this I do like - absolutely stunning final image from the original capture. Cropping in hard on those two central horses and presenting them isolated from the background with a high key finish is just the right thing to do. Honestly, this is my favourite image I have see so far from you Sanford - really well done. Jul 8th
