Nikon D3 600mm lens 1/640 @ f8 iso 1000, small crop
[/QUOTE]photographing these large grey subjects is always difficult, its ok if they are in the distance , but close up I always seem to struggle and can be very frustrating ... so tried to do something different and isolate different body parts ...[QUOTE]
Hi Peter I like your idea of isolating and for the elephants does the b&w works !!
Might try a slight different corp and this is only taste, wold give slight more room at the top, crop the last fourth of the cusp then a little of the bottom? Would also like to have some detail around the mouth area !! Different and looking good !!!
Super conversion Peter. Like where you are going with this. Some good suggestions to enhance further. Thinking you have portrayed the features of an Ele very well.
Thanks Al,for your advice regarding crop of image, have given it a little more room on top but wanted to keep the trunk framing image... shud be more detail around the mouth now.
thanks Harshad, Morkel:),and Mr Fletcher appreciate your views as always.
