    Been busy looking through my older folders today and found this Yellow Mongoose in sweet light. Image taken with Nikon D300S, Nikon VR 300 F2.8, hand held, ISO 400, 1/500s, F7.1

    Wishing you all a great week ahead,

    Hi Gabriela - I agree-very sweet light and an excellent pose. Great detail too. If it were mine I might crop a tiny bit from the bottom (I prefer not to clone) to get rid of the darker hairs that seem to be going forward. A very minor point, but there seems to be a slight sharpening halo along the back.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    This is a really fine image Gabriela. Nothing else to add that hasn't been said.

    Congrats and fine processing work.

    Thank you so much Steve, Jamie, Nancy, Rachel and Arno Rachel, the OOF fur in front of the subject (at the bottom of the image) is the tail-don't know why I did not clone that out or cropped above it, I guess I am so used to this image I do not see these things...Mmm...the OOF bit at the back...not sure, I think I was busy blurring and my hand slipped...I do such things every now and then...I work from 7 to 5 and there's so little time to play in the evenings...always in a hurry...I need to do this full time!!! Wish I could find a way...

    Once again, thank you all for your time to view and for comments-much appreciated!

    Lovely portrait, Gabriela. I love the eyes on these cute little guys.
    Can't add more to what's been said already up above.

    Really lovely image in some nice light Gabriela, well exposed with good detail, a little more dof would have been nice if i had to find something to crit but still fantastic as is.

    Thank you Steve, Morkel and Brendon...I really work hard lately, thanks to you, trying not to miss out on something, looking for a better image to process, one that is "clean", crisp, that has something of interest (in this case, the eyes of my subject), something to grab your attention with. I am slowly getting to know my "audience" better, your tastes may vary but the criteria of judgement is often similar, and in the end it seems I am also pleased with the work I have done...Sorry Steve, right now it's more like " ...work, work, work, rush home, work on an image, post, happy, review the next day, unhappy, post more, happy, work work work..."

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    What is it they say Gabriela, 'all work and no play...'
