hidden Joy

[Overread]

Sometimes, sometimes it's worth staying up late, getting bored and flicking through your old photo folders. Sometimes you see new angles on old shots; you find shots that with a bit of work can become something rather good; and sometimes you find shots that you totally forgot to do first time round:

For an old timer in this forum I'd expect photos to be numbered for C&C lol...

I think these are all decent but my favorite is #3. Man I love how you captured the shadows and made the other eye a mystery. The cropped feet and part of the hind actually works.Great shot!

The others are just ok but the overall processing for the series I'm digging the style.

but but but I'm not old!!! I'm still young and rebbeling against numerical comformation!

Thanks for the compliments Infact the cropped feet and hind part of his body make me wish I had slipped into portrait mode for that shot, the paws more than his back though. I have to learn to get paws into my shots more (I do keep cutting them).

As for the style I'm glad you like it - though I don't know if its "my style" yet - I need to work at getting a proper look to my shots (ok I sort of do, but I think I need to experiment a bit as well).

That third one is great, but the last one, that really takes the prize as far as I am concerned Bummer that I've used all my nominations for Photo of the Month !!

Yeup I agree with camz, 3 would look good large. Actually it's fun looking at these pics, make me feel all warm and fuzzy

hmm that tells me I need more gritty harsh shots to take - a whole new style for some harsh down to earth evil stuff -- I gotta find a hunting fox oneday for that !

What is #2?
I like # 3 but wish the side of his face was more visible.
I like the portrait of #5. He looks so peaceful.
