You may have picked up on my style of doing what I call animal portraits. I enjoy getting images like this one. The hard part is getting them to come to a studio setting! LOL
Very nice image.

I've been playing and playing with this image and I think that with the border the colors really pop. I'd be interested in your opinions, so I posted both versions.
So looking past the focus issue with this particular image, I took in all your generous comments and here's what I came up with for a final version....of course, just as an experiment with using borders for the first time.

Damn, I downloaded the wrong flamingo image. This is my favorite...

At first I didn't like #1. Not because of it's technical aspects but because it's a little guy wrenching for me. Such a magnificent being, in a zoo, trying to figure out a smart phone. Not all photography gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling so it must be a great shot. It did promote a lot of emotion. #7 is a killer shot. If you were walking down a path in India and saw that, it may be the last thing you see! Gary
Hey Gary, Thank you for your very thoughtful comments. It's sad to see all these majestic animals in captivity, but I take solace that seeing them will inspire future generations all the more to make sure they are preserved in the wild. If it makes you feel any better, I PS'd out the food that big guy was eating to swap it out for a cell phone. I try to add a little levity to my work every once in awhile.
I'm glad you like Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty. I waited there for almost an hour to get that shot!

Very nicely done, a really good job. The snake appears to be ready for a meal - he’s rather ‘flat’! The sunset picture is quite stunning - nice masking as well, and the touch of colour to the road is perfect.
Thanks. That snake was a challenge. My wife liked the skyline shot so much we’re having it printed on a 2’ x 3’ acrylic. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
