welcome to the site. I'm glad you posted a shot. I will jump right in with a few suggestions.

the pose is nice, the crop is good. the color I feel is off, it's too green. I also think it's out of focus, and there's camera shake. I dont think it's a publishable image.

I also think you would need to shoot it a little lower, at eye level, or a bit lower. I think you need sharp hair to have a good "wild" animal shot.



Hi Tony,
Thank you for critiquing my image. Unfortunately, I can't take that one at a lower level, although I have several hundred different shots of this one, taken tons of different poses at different settings, trying to get it "right". As far as it being green, how can you tell? I'm not being smart, I really can't tell that the hue is off. I can certainly change that in CS2, but man, its hard for me to tell. I also have no luxury of taking these with additional lighting, I have to rely solely on natural light and have just begun to be able to take "decent" shots at a more acceptable ISO (I had relied a lot on 1600 and had to neatimage the noise out; got tired of doing that). I appreciate your help!! Love your work!!!
