Hi Akos - I know roos can be considered pests Down Under but it is still fun for us to see one. I love the look he is giving you. The conversion works. What program did you use? Looks like you had a few hot spots on the arm (is it an arm?) and the nose but the conversion has helped. It feels tight to me on the left and below. I think you need more room for the virtual legs and tail if you have it. I think you also need some ccw rotation which will make it even tighter.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi again Akos- You're right about the exposure. Perhaps too much contrast in the conversion. At first I thought the image was straight but the longer I looked at it I thought it needed the rotation, mostly based on some of the thicker, darker grass stalks to the right. When they were vertical, the eyes of the roo were also straight despite the lean.
Cheers,
Rachel

Hi Akos, this a fun image. I'm glad that we all have a chance to try the B&W, which I think is hard. Comparing to the color version, the contrast is sure higher in the B&W, and that is why you had the hot spot. Personally I find the BW is a bit too dark and there isn't enough tonal range for an effective B&W, but let hear what the others say. Loi

Hi Akos -- An exciting pose !! looks like a very enthusiastic chap ! cuteness factor is quite high!! I like the conversion but a bit tight from LHS and the BG in the RHS appears a bit too much of noise reduction applied !

Helo Akos,
I am smiling from ear to ear, Mate
This is sweet...Those lovely dark eyes, the awkward position as he is scratching, the illusion of "lack-of-balance", all come together to create this candid shot - I love it! I like the conversion and just been thinking there might be other ways to process this - I would experiment more if this were mine, just to see what works best. The little chap pops nicely for me, he fills the space so well thanks to his "off balance" position, its fur looks "combed" from L to R - lots to look at and marvel, and I am delighted with this capture... set aside those already mentioned hot spots you can fix, you got yourself a winner here, wish you had three or more to share in Story Sequences...
Really hope you have more in your folders...Have a great evening:)

Hi Akos very good to see a bit of variety in the species .
Is this an Eastern Grey ?
Love the cool pose and the conversion does look quite good with the stronger tonal range /contrast in the subject . Agree the ellbow/arm does look a bit hot in the whites , but no big deal and could be addressed in post .
Good work Akos .

Hi Andreas,
Yes, Eastern Grey (Macropus giganteus). Only get those roos around Sydney. We do also get Swamp Wallabies and Eastern Wallaroos.

Ahoy mate, so good to see you posting again!! 
I like the contrast/toning you achieved here - save for the hot spots already mentioned.
The leaning post actually caught my eye in a good way!
