I'll try again.

Did you see the Great Grey Owl


and of course the Hippo's

hot wasabi peas

Great pic!

There's nothing wrong birds of prey being loose. I don't understand why anyone would feel the need to comment about that. The beasties in the Castor canadensis enclosure are another matter though! :scared:

Fantastic - when is the book coming out ?

hot wasabi peas

Ditto!

I was expecting lots of comments about loose birds !!

You are way too kind.

No book. Not good enough for that.

However if you click on the link under my signature it'll take you to the website where I have a whole pile of stuff stored.

I have spent many a moment or two looking at those.

Do you "tweak" your shots much or are they "as taken" so to speak ?

I have to admit that I don't mess about with mine at all - although I probably should - my shot of the panda looks a tad over exposed to me in the top left

Which "tweaking" program do you use ?

Calgal

RUBBISH! You are too modest! Your pictures are SO good - no they're far better than good; they're excellent, I would expect to see them in wildlife/travel/adverising publications!

Steve_P

They are all very definitly "tweaked" in some form or another.

I use Adobe Photoshop as my main image manipulation software.

I just had a quick play with your Panda pic, I hope you don't mind. The difference is subtle but unfortunately I couldn't do anything with the whites they are blown out and there is no detail there.

The thumbnail on the left is the original.

I have been told many times that I am overly critical of my own work.

However that is how I feel about it. That is not to say I don't like what I produce, I just don't think it is that good.

Thanks for the tip - I will give Adobe Photoshop a try.

Have you ever thought about offering your manipulation services to the public ? You could probably make a fortune

Steve,
Your photos are brilliant, thank you so much for sharing them!

Your grandaughter is a cutie!

Hope you are feeling good, take care of yourself.

Steve_P

But that would mean people would have expectations and I would have to work. :scared:

What you have to realise is that I am the bone idle sort.

I'm retired and want to stay that way.

I don't mind doing the odd one or two for friends but I'm not interested in starting a new career.

Nice of you to suggest though.

Cheers
Steve

Thank you very much and yes I'm feeling much better these days.
