Hi Desmond - id be smiling also - couldnt ask for better eye contact - might just try and lighten the eye thats is shadow just a little. Nice detail in the underwing area - courtesy of solid techs.

Hey, Desmond, you're right to be happy, fish or no fish. Agree with Lance on the eye.

Hi Desmond, Agree with Lance regarding lightening the eye but otherwise nice wing position,HA and position within the frame...

[Harold Davis]

i got two things.....nice job! and i wished the D700 had a crop factor. i'd have one in a heartbeat!!! i do agree with lance about the lightening the eye.

Just the eye Desmond !!! Sweet capture !! Most subjects with strong eye contact are appealing !!!

But if the D700 were a crop factor camera, it would not be a D700 anymore, Harold. It would be a D300. :)


Thanks for the comments, everyone !
