Description

So I thought I'd take a break on the drop shots and show you my outing to the crocworld at Scottsburgh, KZN, ZA. I've dedicated this shot to Erskogly coz I love his work and think he is way underrated. Plus a little thank you for all the comments. I've got two different shots here. Focus is different, background, framing, border. But the editing was the same: levels, noise reduce, smart sharpen, hue/sat. No colours added or selected, backgrounds are natural and not edited. I shot this guy thru a fence while he was standing over head - I took jinet's advise and upped the ISO to 400 so that the shutter speed was higher and I could leave handshake at home... Tx jinet - I reckon it worked. It was a terribly overcast day.. Tx to all who followed the drops down the drain. There will be more one day... Have a sucessful humpday!

Oh my goodness! What an amazing couple of close-ups!!! They both look incredible, but if i had to pick a favorite i would go with the bottom one. Just look at that eye. Amazing!!! Beautiful dedication to my norweigian neighbour. #:O)

LOL, and if I had to pick I would choose the top one because of the feather detail around the neck and the interesting background... wink Good thing you posted both.
