Challenge: Something New II (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Canberra Zoo
Date: May 8, 2004
Aperture: F/5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/640 sec

Date Uploaded: May 8, 2004

 I had fun shooting this at the local zoo. My first submission for the D70. I used a Nikon 70-300mm F4-5.6 D Lens, handheld. I'm happy with the end result, and the lens appears nice & sharp.

Post Editing: I cloned out 4 white poles in the background. Practice makes perfect, right? Hopefully it's less distracting than the original w/ poles. I did some minute Unsharp mask, but its not really noticable. Small crop at the bottom, and thats about it.

I'm very much a beginner with wildlife shooting, so I guess it meets the challenge. I don't care if it does badly.. I like it :-)

These two guys look like loving brothers. Are they all not innocent or what?

I love the golden tones on the lions. The tongue makes this photo very interesting and pleasing.

That one lion looks hungry... did you say 'cheese'? Very nice, warm and fuzzy picture. I'll have to see the comments to know what's new about it, although it the first photo I've seen of a lion sticking it's tongue out.

They look like pussycats. Great capture - I especially like the sticking out tonge.

Wonderfully smooth colors. Looks great. Good lighting not distracting shadows. Looks great, or did I allready say that?

Beatiful color and lighting. I wish it weren't cropped so tightly on the left (cutting off the feet). I also think the top (above the head) needs a little more room. Great action shot of the licking and cleaning!

Lovely double-portrait. Pity the hindlegs on the left-side fall out the picture. Could have made it even more interesting.

I love lion shots ... this one shows not much their power, but their playfulness and the fact that they are ... cats. The showing of the tongue in the left one is precious... just like my cat does. I just wish there was more space above its head or you could have balanced it by cropping also tighter at the bottom. The warm colors by the way compliment the tropical atmosphere. Good job!
