Outstanding capture, Courtenay. Beautiful work.

8/24/2009 5:17:45 AM

Well, you did an excellent job making her stand out... great capture and work, Courtenay!

8/24/2009 5:18:38 AM

That's where I'd have put her too, Courtenay -- but she'd be a beauty anywhere! Nice work showcasing this magnificent animal!

8/24/2009 5:30:43 AM

Beautifully done Courtenay.

Hi Courtenay,that new 700 sure can take a beautiful image.Awesome capture!!!!

8/24/2009 6:22:09 AM

Great work Courtenay....they do blend in with the bg...really like the b&w bg!!!!!!!

8/24/2009 6:37:05 AM

Wonderful work, Coutenay!

8/24/2009 6:40:58 AM

Outstanding capture and work Court! Good idea to change bg color for contrast! She stands out very well! Adorable image!

8/24/2009 7:51:35 AM

Wonderful capture, Courtenay!
fabulous detail and great idea on changing the b/g to b&w

8/24/2009 10:38:40 AM

Outstanding portrait of this Giantess! Aren't they totally AMAZING?? Great work on this cool capture, Courtenay!

8/24/2009 11:54:01 AM

Beautifully done, Courtenay. I had a similar problem trying to photograph some gigantic Belgian draught horses, at close proximity (in a barn). I decided that I need to strap a folding step ladder on my back! Maybe we can invent a lightweight, un-awkward folding step ladder for photographers?

8/24/2009 1:33:42 PM

I too would like to be another foot taller! A beautiful frontal portrait of this delightful animal, Courtenay, and your darkroom work is excellent!

8/24/2009 2:12:35 PM

Nice capture and dd work! It seems like all of the zoos want them to blend it with their surroundings.

8/24/2009 3:31:27 PM

I Just Climb on Buses for Better PoVs ;0)

This is awesome Court
The Background change brings her front and center
Wonderful work!

8/24/2009 4:40:33 PM

I don't doubt that Mel climbs on busses or anything else that lends itself to get the right POV!!! LOLOL This is an awesome capture, Courtenay!!! :-) k

8/24/2009 5:20:42 PM

Outstanding work on this one Courtenay.

8/24/2009 6:01:08 PM

Great job on this elephant portrait, Courtenay. You captured all her wrinkles so well!

8/24/2009 6:05:13 PM

Very nice zoo series. Like Mr (or Ms) elephant here. Great job on the crop and dd. Sorry not to comment recently, very busy.

8/24/2009 6:16:58 PM

Fantastic job bringing out the real character of this elephant, Courtenay!! You have separated him from the background very skillfully and his skin is sharp, textured and colorful!! Great job!!!
