Sep 25, 2009 09:50 | #3 I like #3. It has the "best" light on the face. #2 looks a bit washed out on my monitor. Jeremy

Sep 26, 2009 04:06 | #8 wow! thanks so much for the comments... I actually thought number 1 and 2 would be better as more water could be seen.. and also thought in 3, the giraffe was too low in the frame! www.adnansavani.zenfolio.com

Taron Senior Member  335 posts Joined Sep 2009 Location: Croatia, Split More info | Sep 26, 2009 08:25 | #10 Although #3 shows the head/face best, the overall composition doesn't have the classic strength of #1 with it's positioning and reflections. I'd probably have tried to doctor it a little, maybe... somehow get the best aspects of #1 and #3 together. Canon 500D, Sigma 18-250mm & no clue how to make the best of either, yet!

I tried it and the detail is there to fix, with the original raw or jpg it should look natural if done properly. The dark face of #1 is the only reason I think #3 is best overall, otherwise with the face of #1 fixed I think it would be best.

Sep 26, 2009 15:46 | #13 my main reason why I am not too fond of number is 3 is because of its composition. I have tried to lighten the face of number 1. is this any better?  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. www.adnansavani.zenfolio.com
