I don't suppose anything could be done in Photoshop to save this photo? If there is, I'd love a tutorial or some tips on how to do it. As you can all imagine, he beat feet immediately after I snapped this frame. Doh!!!!!

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Jul 02, 2012 18:42 | #6 Not much to be done, no. But, the takeaway is to start paying attention to your WHOLE frame, not just your subject before pressing the button. This was one of the hardest things for me to get used to; and I still struggle with it, occasionally. As the photographer, you've gotta be aware of the surrounding (or intervening) elements in your frame, just as much as the subject/in focus elements). - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

You could have just asked him to take a few steps to the left Sharon

I was well aware that the branch was in the way and there was little to be done. I had hightailed it for nearly half a mile to get in position on this animal and just as I got close and found him in view, he winded me. He turned around to look at me and I froze, praying that he'd let his guard down and let me side-step to the left. I took one photo as he made up his mind to boogie and took several others of his backside. I've second guessed myself a hundred times on this one but there was nothing else I could have done, it wasn't a zoo animal or a bear in Alaska that feeds on salmon all day while amateur photographers click away.

Jul 03, 2012 04:01 | #13 OK, that's great. Now, how'd you do it? Does the camera actually catch what's behind the little branch that's out of focus up close? Is what's shown in your edited version what the camera actually caught?

I chased this guy for nearly half a mile, over hill and over dale, without spooking him. When I finally got close, I knew this stupid branch was in the way and knew that if I moved, he'd bolt. I took the shot and then side-stepped to try to get a clear shot and he turned and ran. I got a few more of his backside but nothing good. Darn, I'll call this one, "the one that got away".
