Amazing details on this camel portrait Jodi! #1075089Debbra Bailey January 28, 2009
Cool shot Jodi! Love the texture! He looks like he is smiling! #7100146Jennifer L. Taranto January 29, 2009
oh, he's cute!! great textures, details & lighting!! #7101745Jodi M. Walsh January 29, 2009
thanks ladies! glad you like this one #7101909Dale Hardin January 29, 2009
Wow Jodi, his hair looks like mine in the morning. The only difference is that he's a little more handsome.This is a nicely composed shot. If you'd like to play around with it a little may I suggest softening the midrange tones to open the shadows? this will reveal those gorgeous eyelashes. A catch light might work also.
If you still want to play around, try giving a little blur to the back ground to improve the DOF and draw more attention to his intriguing face. #7103424

Love the title - Now I'll be humming that tune all night :)Jodi M. Walsh January 29, 2009
thanks dale and esther. I love this camel but we rarely make it all the way through the zoo and she's at the end so I don't have too many shots of her. #7104107Jeanine M. Bailey January 30, 2009
Hey I remember her!!! My daughter was afraid of her at first!! :) Great shot!! :) #7105717Esther R. Tinz January 30, 2009

it's a favorite song in our house :-) #7106282Aimee C. Eisaman January 30, 2009
Okay girls....you are gonna have to let me hear that song because I'm clueless! LOL! A nice profile shot Jodi! I think I recall being able to get pretty close to these guys at the Pgh Zoo. I'll be curious to see if you play with this one at all. I do think a catch light in the eye would be nice, but I know how hard they are to make. :~) #7107622Aimee C. Eisaman February 03, 2009
Congrats on the EP! I'm still wondering how you knew her name? :~) #7122001Jodi M. Walsh February 03, 2009
