If you can't dodge em'

I know, that's so redneck... anyway, appreciate your thoughts.

Resize slight boost to shadows, otherwise SOOC

Really nice capture Payn! I love the sharpness and color throughout the face on this guy but especially those horns! Been hanging around at that zoo of yours again eh? Looks like it was a good day out.

Mind now you don't photograph anything there to death like I did my poor fish, cause the zoo might not let you come back! He He He:lol: :cornut:

[payn817]

Thanks CLKunst. No zoo here, it was a farm somewhere near the Alabama line.

So, yeah, I got lost and decided to make the most of it.

I agree. Colour, sharpness, lighting, and background are absolutely perfect and give it a very dramatic look. Very effective.

Great shot! I think John's on to something .... You could use this in a Dodge commerical.. "Don't Mess with the Hemi"

Only thing I see that could be improved is that the fellow's nose and mouth are a little out of focus. A tad more DOF perhaps. Still very nice

[Kaelastreet]

Creepy. The eyes look like an afterthought!

Like the shot though, carries determination and is a good result. No complaints from this quarter.

Wow, thanks folks.

Ronnoco, glad to see you picked up on my intent. I boosted the shadows, and saturated the fur to get the darker ominous feel.

GB1, I too wish it was all in focus. I'm working on the DOF thing, I have a habit of "all or nothing". MEaning I shoot all the way open or all the way closed down. It's a monster, but pehaps I can break it soon.

Kizz, it's eyes look like that. In the 8X10, it's even creepier.

John, don't know about the "Hemi", but I wasn't about to walk up and check em out.
