    Rod - nice to see a kangeroo image. Good action and separation from bg. There seems to be something a little off right above the bigger roo's snout, was something cloned there? Maybe another round of NR on the bg. 1600 on the 7D can be noisy ime.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Yes! Rachel there is some artifacts left from cloning midway between the nose and eye. I hadn't picked it up thanks. I should have done a high magnification scan to check. Initially I thought the blob in fur just behind the gape was some artifact but it must be moist fur as it is on the original and on all in the series alas as I had't seen when I was processing. It was raining slightly so it is more than likely clogged fur.

    Hi Rod, as Rachel said, good to see something new.

    I like the interaction and by having all the tail in (easily chopped in the heat of the moment ) has moved the comp slightly off to the LHS which works well, rather than being central. Again, good spot by Rachel about the slight bit of cloning, which I am sure can easily be resolved. Not too sure about the 'vibrancy' of the grass?

    Hope to see more from 'Down under'.

    Rod, well done on your kangaroo image. I find them dreadfully difficult to photograph and I live with them all around me. Scrubby backgrounds, fur which blends into the background, long tails which never are in the right spot etc.etc. So I haven't posted one and they don't appear here very often.

    I like the interaction you have captured here but I think the ss is a little slow and has lowered the IQ on the left hand kangaroo slightly. I also find the grass a little vibrant although I don't know your area so it may be 'as seen', but possibly would look a little better subdued somewhat. I can't say that the heavy background tree trunks add to the image, but hey, what can you do about them.

    I hope you post some more.
