    Hi Andreas - a nice portrait of the two with good sharpness and detail. A bit too contrasty for my taste, particularly on the body, but I know you like more contrast than I do.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Nice interaction with good eye contact and great detail. Would probably look good as a metallic print. Could've been a great Disney moment (Lady and the Tramp) if they were both eating that grass!

    Thanks Rachel and Steve for your comment/feedback , as aways good to hear that.
    Rachel will stick to my contrast , but could think about reducing the contrast ever so slightly would be possible , even for me .

    Thanks again , Andreas

    Hi Andreas, very nice portrait and interaction in good light. I too find the contrast a bit strong. If you have a wee bit all around, I'd like to suggest that you consider it. TFS. Loi

    Hi Andreas, my first thought was that it appeared too contrasty, but I think the effect is heighten by the Whites & Darks of the fur. In an ideal world it would, I think having the other eye visible on the RH kid would have been better, however... The grass stalk is a nice touch and I like the fact you kept the BKG light as per the previous image. Any images with a side profile, heads clashing?

    TFS

    Thanks Loi, Steve and Sanjeev for taking your time and giving your feedback , as always very much appreciated.

    Will stick to ´my contrast´, thanks.

    Steve sadly i have no version you ask for, they came together rubbed their heads quickly and moved on ........., would love to have the version you want to see.

    Thanks again , Andreas

    Hello Andreas,

    I really like this and I think the crop is great, don't mind the contrast at all here, it makes the subjects "pop" beautifully and the colours are stunning. I like the "golden" tinge overall, this would make a great print - well done Andreas!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Nice moment, Andreas. I like the contrast and textures here, and felt this was also an option - WDYT?

    Hi Morkel thanks for taking your time and creativity .I like what you have done , good work.
    But i would dodge the darker areas in BKG to get a smoother BKG, WDYT ?

    Thanks again Andreas
