Thanks to everyone who visits & comments on my work

Due to time constraints I’ve decided that I’ll not spend time just saying individual thanks when someone comments on my work. Far better I feel to spend time looking at their portfolio & enjoying & commenting on their work, by way of thanks for visting & commenting on my work.

Of course I’ll say thank you to our hardworking hosts when featured, and sometimes you just have to answer a question, but apart from that I’m in silent mode.

As a child my plane crashed in the Himalayas & I was raised by an advanced civilisation that taught me photography, ESP & precognition, no, wait that was the Champions wasn’t it?

Ah well, 50 & getting more muddled by the day.

Hope you enjoy my work, and feel free to buy anything you like enough. :-)

    Hi:
    What do you mean by technically flawed? Not enough or too much cat in the image? Could you have cropped a little off the backside? Did you crop at all? The eyes have it. It’s pleasing. Where was this photo taken? Barb

  • HI Barb,

    A camera mag would probably say that the point of sharpest focus is on the nose rather than the eyes, however that mistake gives it a sort of 3 dimensional effect IMO.

    The picture was taken at the Santago Leopard Project in Welwyn, Herts.

    Cheers,

    Dave
