this is a stunning image!! I like the black background with it, good job #907257Anthony L. Mancuso April 24, 2008
thanks dawn, I like this one too..i just wonder if I should have used a smaller aperture to gain some depth of field to get more of the nose in focus, or if it is better to have the nose out of focus to draw more attention to the eyes. #5835304Dawn M. Schneider April 24, 2008
not sure, I like the focus on the eye, maybe if the fur was more crisp or you showed a little more face and not so much black you would achieve what you want. this is a nice image Anthony!! #5836369Tori A. Gonzalez April 25, 2008
This is an excellent shot!! I think your depth of focus is great, draws your attention to the eye. I think if the nose was more focus it would take away some of the dramatic effect and feel you get from this shot :) #5843047Anthony L. Mancuso April 27, 2008
Thank you both for the input, I hadn't perceived the window reflection as being distracting but now that you mention it I do notice it more. #5850157Wm Nosal July 11, 2008
