I just wish the new changes to the website meant that I could see images in one full frame instead of scrolling. Really hard to look at composition. It almost looks like it could be a fraction too tight on the rhs, but if that is what you have I'd consider taking off some foreground almost to where the water starts on the lhs. I don't think you need so much oof grass to show off this beautiful mum and calf.

I like the light in this image, very nice.

I like how the head of the young one sits under Mvura in nice lighting cond's.

Hilary,

I do not really understand your scrolling comments, are you saying that you cannot see the whole image on one page?

I can see your point about the crop, I'll take a look.

Marc,

Thanks I could net get a better position as the boat was once again stuck in the mud, but I am happy with this.

You'll just have to buy a widescreen monitor Hilary.;)
As this presents the problem on 4:3 monitors I'm afraid.

Ken - well captured with the youngster peeking through below the mom. I think the scrolling does depend on the monitor.

Ken, just love the light and colours, and the youngster looking through puts this over the top.

I have a 4:3 monitor (NEC 2070NX) and I can see all of the image.
Browser. Mozilla Firfox 3.6 has a "Zoom" (under View) control. It changes the BPN page size within the (your selected) browser window size. Also, if you have a left browser column of "Bookmarks" etc, turning it off helps.

That's correct Ken, and only since the most recent changes.

You are completely right, I will have to give in and dump the CRT for the Eizo. :)

Thanks Tom, I'll give the zoom a try until I can get a new monitor or steal my husbands wide screen. I browse in Safari (seems apt for me! :) )

Sorry Ken, didn't mean to highjack your rhinos, it just is very hard to view the whole image under these conditions.

[Ken Watkins]

Sorry Ken, didn't mean to highjack your rhinos, .

Thanks, I am getting used to it, perhaps these technical questions could be posted elsewhere;)
