    Default An unusual angle (Hoodie)



    Model = Canon EOS-1D Mark II N

    F Number = F8
    Exposure Program = Manual

    Flash = Off
    Focal Length = 400mm

    I kinda liked this as it is out of the ordinary. What do you think?

    Wow I like it the sharpness is great and you nailed the focus.

    Good job dealing with the side light.

    How did you use a bushhawk from what looks like the water level?

    Sharpness in the eye makes this image for me.

    Cool angle and composition, took me a second to figure out what is going on. So, this is what a female hoodie sees when her beloved nears. :)

    It's not always easy to break the "rules" but this one works. BG and detail are fantastic.

    I like this. I think the fact the eye and head are sharp really make this work. Nicely done!!

    Superb focusing job here Jody. I like the "different" point of view a lot but I think that the composition is a bit tight. Very well done!

    I was lying on my side with my head almost in the water. If you loosen the tripod collar on the lens, you can rotate the body and hold the bushhawk sideways with the bottom of the body on the ground. (hope that makes sense :))

    Thanks Robert!
