Caiman

[Tassilo Seeger]

Caiman in a zoo in Germany, October 2006.
Technical data: Canon 1DMkII, 24-105mm @ 24mm, 1/6 sec., f 5,6, ISO 800, some reflections in the glass removed.

Thanks for looking

Cheers

like this one Tassilo, even with the floater in the bg, my eye comes right back to the main subject. Very good indeed for only 1/6 sec exposure. Even behind that thick glass I would prefer a bit more "pop" in the image.

maybe something like this, all via USM passes up to 12/50/0 and a bit of darkening the snout.
Just an option
Thanks for sharing, reallky like this

NIce use of local contrast enhancement David. That's one scary looking guy standing on the bottom like that. I like the posture. The guy in the back is OK but would have been nice if he was not touching/merging with the front one's back.

Thanks for your comments :)

@ Dave: I like your version with more contrast and sharpness.

Cheers

What a cool image Tassilo! Love the pose of this monster. I echo Robert's comments on the other caiman in the BG. The repost makes it po even more.
