I see what you mean about the lack of space. I was probably a little zealous with the crop, having taken another look at it. I think it could at least use a little extra space on the left-hand side. -- Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO: No Umbrella, No Galoshes
Excellent. It's hard enough to get a bird that sharp, much less in an interesting position.

Re: PESO: No Umbrella, No Galoshes
Thank you, Steven! That one happened to be one of the more cooperative birds I ever encountered. I managed to catch him on the wing shortly after this shot, but the focus failed me, and he had banked himself into a position where the outline just wasn't very bird-like. -- Walt On 4/4/2011 4:26 PM, Steven Desjardins wrote: Excellent.

Re: PESO: No Umbrella, No Galoshes
Thank you, Steve. And, yes -- there's considerably more background and raindrops on the rail in the original. I'll re-post the wider crop ASAP -- still working on some other shots from the trip, amazingly enough. -- Walt On 4/4/2011 4:34 PM, steve harley wrote: On 2011-04-03 20:29 , Walter Gilbert wrote: Potential cliche hazard ahead!
