Lovely behavioural moment well captured here Ian.
Took the liberty, (hope you don't mind) and reposted with the slight red/magenta cast on their skin taken out.

Thanks, Marc. You might be right -- that tone might be artifactual. In any event, I like your repost.

Ian - I like this and the repost improves it. To me this image is all about the hands so another option you could consider is a vertical crop if you have the IQ.


TFS,
Rachel

Thanks, Harshad and Rachel. The stuff above and below the Orangs was pretty ugly, so a vertical didn't work for me, but I agree the hands are what does it. I have some tiger images from the same day, but Harshad's wild ones make mine look so weak!

This one made me laugh out loud:D and for me I would definitely keep her face as it reminds of the days when I realized I first needed bifocals! Great behavioral moment, indeed.

[Rachel Hollander]

Ian - here's the crop I was thinking about if the IQ is there in the original image.

[Ian Cassell]

Yes, Rachel, I love your crop! Thanks!
