Thanks for all the feedback!

You're welcome AFB.

I was not expecting to get so many nice shots. That said with wildlife photography you get a lot more failures than my usual landscape stuff. I think some of this is more luck than judgement.
Looking forward to getting some more time out with my new rig. Although found out I can't take both my lenses with my current bag, so looks like another expense. (just don't tell Mrs Apple fanboy!)

LOL, all so very true! Welcome to the world of wildlife photography. I've said the exact same things a number of times and I have a number of camera bags in my closet to go along with those sentiments. :)

judging by your response, I am getting a vibe that the Lady in your pic might be a relative of yours :eek:

Again, I'm lost with what you're trying to say. No she's not a relative of mine, just a random woman on the street.

that's fortunate, I would have hated if that had happened.

regarding my original comment, your pic just reminded me of that scene in the movie, Requiem for a Dream by Darren Aronofsky. That's all.

Thereafter, I also hoped this wasn't a relative of yours, as in that particular scene I posted the pic of, the character was experiencing a severe psychotic breakdown.

While this wasn't the main reason my brain made the correlation with your pic, but mostly because of the right handed angle, and the age of the subject, I hoped it wasn't perceived as a reference that the photographed subject, which might have been a relative of yours, that was in a similar distressing situation.

hope this vaguely clears my intentions :D

I, too, have seen that film and in looking at the referenced photo see exactly why this film and Ellen Burstyn's character came to mind..... That is one powerful and disturbing movie. The cinematography and the way it was handled, too, was intriguing and different. I fully understand why this image reminded you of that film. Just wanted to offer some support here in case you felt you were out in left field. You're not. You're right on the money.
 
Looks like you might have knocked the camera a little on a couple of shots. Either that or the earth is falling out of the sky!

I was in France so had been on the vino..... :rolleyes: think I also dropped my SLT that night onto the patio at one point :eek:
 
I think it works very well Ish. Nice soft background and beautiful colour combination. Only thing (to my eye and on my screen), I would try bringing the brightness/exposure down.

Not for me: a bit muddled and muddied...

I'd rather see it crisp and sharp. Also less exposure would work for me.

Thank you all for your thoughts. Sorry to be so long replying, I've been waiting for the light to be right to try a different version. Tried this a few minutes ago, more of a straightforward version this time.
