    Hi Jon, is this with PSCC2015.5, if so, looking good.

    Techs look good, nice SS and I think f/5.6 rather than 5, it's just better IMHO, I just find it just works. My main 'issue' (not meant to sound harsh) is that I just wished you had dropped the whole frame down for the legs, for me, there is just too much dead space above. nice detail and I like the 'inquisitive' nature/expression of the head/capture, if you know what I mean? it seems to convey a happiness/youthful look & feel.

    TFS

    Not harsh I have to agree, it dawned on me that I was stuck using the focal points that I did, I realized afterwards but of course that was too late.. I will just have to go back and do it all again!

    HI Jonathan -- This months theme has enable us to see a wide variety of species . Another beautiful subject . I agree with what Steve has to say , some space at the bottom would have been doing good to the image but i too have become a victim of focal points while composing and ruined many images .

    TFS !

    Hi Jon - Very nice detail and inquisitive pose. I agree with Steve on the comp but as Haseeb said we have all done the same with focal points. I'm seeing a bit of magenta on the coat that I would reduce if it were mine. Yellowstone, like Africa, can get addictive. I keep telling Steve he has to fit it in somehow too. Maybe we should organize a BPN trip!

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Sadly Rachel, it never fits in with our annual Canadian trip, plus the £ needs to improve against the $$.

    Thanks everyone for your comments.
    (Yes Steve I got really hammered I only got $1.20 exchange rate on my return, during the holiday it dropped from $1.30 or so down to $1.28, when I booked it was $1.43!!)
