    Default Rare Sighting? 3

    Quite an apt title as all 3 pups are in this one, the best I could do under the circumstances, harsh light, deep shadows and position of vehicle, we could not risk moving or they would have gone back into the den

    Ken - great sighting and you did well given the limitations. I might pull back a little on the reds in the shadows (most evident in the underbellies).

    Hi Ken,
    Nice capture considering the circumstances. Great poses and head angles too. The color looks fine to me. The red color on the underbellies is red from being reflected off the red soil, so a nice effect in my opinion. Some of the sticks in the background are a little annoying (could be blurred a little).

    Rachel,
    Whilst I have no real idea never having seen these before, I think that is highly likely that like "normal" puppies they are a bit short of hair down there hence the apparent redness

    Roger,

    "pesky" sticks indeed , I'll give blurring a try

    I agree Ken, well done given the dappled light. No deep shadows make this appealing.

    Ken,

    This is amazing. Perfect techs and brilliant comp. Quite challenging I guess.

    What I said last time.... great to see all three and the expressions are perfect - close ups didn't work in this light?
