I used (the old version) Photoshop 7 and Topaz.

Thankyou Nancy J for your very kind comments, and yes I have more, I will put them up later, and No2 is actually a Gyr Falcon and because he is looking up in the air the image can look a bit confusing.

Hah Hah, love your sense of humour Mooseeyes, but save the eye test, its my fault, I should have perhaps explained, No 2 is a Gyr Falcon and in the original photo I snapped him as he caught his prey on the ground, however there was also a Lanner Falcon circling overhead and he was looking up, keeping a eye on him.

Thankyou very much for your kind comments

3 OOBs (Out Of Bounds) images I created with some photos from a recent visit to South Africa, I am somehow hooked on this post editing idea, responsibility is with Ugly Hedgehog forum, because this has been the first place I had seen any of them before, just cant stop playing around with my images on the PC.

Thankyou everyone for taking the time to look and for your very nice comments, much appreciated.

I really love the sequence of shots, well done, and I would love the chance to photograph these magnificent birds and I wonder if you may be able to advise me.

I am going to the USA for a month from 01 May and I would love to photograph some Bald Eagles.

I am going to be based in Davenport outside of Orlando in Florida, however I am flying up to Newark NJ to see some family in Denville NJ just west of Newark, and I was wondering if anyone may know where I can drive out to get possible sightings for these magnificent birds either in Florida or North to central New Jersey area.

After seeing the OOBs (Out of Bounds) images on this forum, I was fascinated by them, so I started messing about with Photoshop 7 not CSS, but the old version of Photoshop.

I saw images created by member Nanaval and he inspired me to have a go and I am now completely hooked on them.

Please look at my very first attempt and give your opinions please, they would be appreciated.

Crocodile attacking a Lanner Falcon

Thanks for taking the time to look George, I was just lucky that this particular Tiger jumped up on the roof of a shelter as I arrived on the scene and he was approximately 25 yards away.

The equipment I used was a Nikon D3100, with a Sigma 150-500mm F.6-6.3 lens.... 1/160 sec, F6.3, ISO800, Aperture priority, Centre weighted metering.

Thankyou all very much for your very kind comments, they were much appreciated.

Superb shot and well done on your 1st prize, it is a wonderful feeling to know your skill and talent has been recognised, especially from people within the photography circle, once again well done, shaking your hand from here in the UK.

I have attached some images of a Tiger taken at Port Lympne Wildlife Sanctuary in Kent, England, I changed the colour shots to B&W and added a vignette which I really like, interested in your thoughts.

I had'nt noticed that JayPat until I saw the image on my laptop, as he entered the water I had immediately got onto the back of the landrover and just started snapping away under pressure of time because our driver (quite rightly) decided it was time to leave, when I finally had the chance to look on a bigger screen I immediately thought like you, those eyes were striking and I would love to have known what he was thinking.

I just loved the menacing look of this Tiger which I photographed on an endangered species wildlife-safari park in South Africa where they are doing a breeding program for tigers over there due to the mass killing and poaching of Tigers in Asia.
I was about 50-60 metres away from him when he decided to swim towards me, I had got into the back of a Landrover to make my getaway, I was using a Sigma 150-500mm lens on a Nikon D3100.

I love the shot, very subtle tones and light, I think black & white would look good if post edited with a high contras

I have always known these as 'Angels eyes' as my mother would tell me that they were the Angels looking down on us
