“Mr. Smiley”

Note: The original image was adjusted by adding a textured sandstone finish.

This little guy was going for his early morning walk. Mr. Smiley is one of the local residents in my Pops garden. He was painted with a Nikon D300, using a Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED lens, with a Nikkor 1.4 T/C

Image Solution:
focal length @ 420mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/500sec. - f/8 / exposure comp @ -0.3EV / ISO @ 640 / white balance @ auto / AF - Mode @ AF - C / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution – ambient lighting / tone comp @ +2 degrees / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform – hand held /

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:
