    Hi Andreas - A very sweet image. The pano crop works well with nice detail and colors look good. Looks like mom was moving and you may have needed a little more ss. My guess is today you would have had it with a higher ISO.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hello Andreas,

    This is very sweet and straight to the heart:)

    Love the interaction and especially that connection/eye contact between mom and pup, so special. I like the composition and IQ is not bad at all for your old gear, also colours are great, Boetie. A bit more SS would have perhaps made a difference but who am I to judge, LOL? My latest images are full of emotion but I had to sacrifice something here and there, love perfection but oh-so-difficult to achieve it sometimes.

    Beautiful capture and I thank you so much for sharing,

    Your African Sister,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Andreas, nice tender moment and both the techs 9considering the kit) and PP looks really nice. Yes, the 'environment' may not look to others right, but it typifies this location well. cool shot from the past.

    TFS
    Steve
