    Hi all another Marmot ....
    This time a close up with a nice open mouth which adds a bit of interest for me .
    Those guys at Filzmoos Austria are quite easy to handle ... compared to other locations , as they are kind of habituated to humans at that place .


    Canon EOS 1D MKIV
    EF 70 - 200 2,8 IS L at 200 mm

    F 8 ; Iso 1600 ; 1/1600 sec ; TV + 0,3 EV

    Processed from start to finish ( Stu ) with DPP 4.6 ( fine detail ) , incl downsizing , slight crop from top and RHS ......

    Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous posting

    Cheers Andreas

    Hi Andreas - I know this was an experiment in pp for you but I do think it could be improved in PS. My guess is you do too. The midtones and darks of the marmot seem a bit heavy and more detail could be brought out. I also find my eye drawn to the bright spot on the right edge. The low pov and open mouth definitely take this up a notch.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Rachel thanks for your pointers ..... i just think i produced a big mess .... after reading your comment even more with new fresh eyes from today .
    Still try to get the most out of DPP .... in different ways .
    Overall it is just flat and the colors do look muddy and just not right .

    Anyway i will go on.....cheers Andreas

    HI Andreas -- Not that a big mess , can be termed as not your usual standard but I find it quite a nice frame considering the low POV and the open mouth. Yes, that bright spot was the first thing that drew my eye in the rhs corner , apart from that it slightly off in terms of the blacks as pointed out by Rachel.

    TFS !

    Hello Andreas,

    I like this very much, for the same reasons described by Rachel and then Haseeb above. Love the slightly raised paw with those visible nails.

    And not a big mess, I am just used to seeing a bit more "pop" from you, so in comparison with the usual this might look a bit dull, so to speak.

    Beautifully framed and great expression from this chap, he is so cute

    Enjoyed viewing, thank you Boetie,

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
