    She is a beauty, Sanjeev. The light was stunning:)

    I really like the colours and tonality here. A well exposed image too. Lovely yawning pose from this girl.

    You must have been pretty close and I guess a tad more DoF would have been great, but I just love the detail on that muzzle and those curled up whiskers I would suggest a tad more sharpening to the R eye, if possible.

    Thank you so much for sharing, hope you have a wonderful week-end,

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Beautiful work, Saneev. I love the light and the yawn. Beautiful detail where sharp but like Gabriela, I'd hope for a touch more DOF. Also wondering if there's a touch of noise still visible in the background as it does look a little mottled. A frame I'd be very happy with if mine all the same.

    Hi Sanjeev -- What a beautiful light ! Excellent details as well. I might have cropped from the top for a more tighter head shot but as presented it still works. Agree reg the DOF , more the better in this case. Nicely done .

    TFS !

    Hi Sanjeev, the light and warm colour works here.

    Personally I feel you needed more SS, even with a lazy yawn, the nose is sharp, but the mouth, tongue & gums are just a bit soft. Being slightly further away your f/stop would have been better I think, plus the left ear would have been in focus (it's quite dominant) and created more DOF, perhaps a bit too close??? The bokeh BKG creates a nice separation here.

    TFS

    Hi Sanjeev, I like the light in this, and in turn shows up the near eye, nose and tongue nicely. Im viewing on my laptop, so I can now see how some members struggle to see these larger images posted. Of course I do view BPN at home on my larger screen.

    Hi Sanjeev - Beautiful light and I love when you can see the taste buds on the tongue. Agree with the others about more dof would have improved this already nice image.

    TFS,
    Rachel
