Hi Morkel - the low pov really makes this image. Great IQ at ISO 4000 :eek3:

TFS,
Rachel

Really like the quirky POV here more & the H/A, impressive ISO. :S3:

The vertical format/perspective you chose here really works. I cannot believe this was shot such a high ISO b/c the IQ is just so amazing.

Amazing shot Morkel, Love the sharpness & angle!

Nice shot Morkel. A different perspective on these guys and a nice look at the massive head. Wish you had a little more space on the LHS as viewed just to get that tiny bit of elbow?/upper arm and the nice curve of shoulder plate. That's being picky though:w3

[Dumay de Boulle]

Nice low angle and what more can we say re D3s ISO perormance...Nicely done!

A cool pose and close up.
I sort of wish to see a bit of an eye though.
Your PP is amazing at the high iso you shoot.
