Glad you like your portraits, Chris, but you sure are gettin picky about the little stuff.......
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 4:54 pmYeah, I agree with the Chris Miester on this one Kerry, if you removed stick and chop a bit of the left and centre him a bit more it would make a an even greater portrait I think.
Great shots you Gorilla Stalker

Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 8:39 pmI'm certainly not saying anything about sharpness...
Great shots of a great creature Kerry.
(I never knew Chris was so muscular!)

Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2005 12:21 amNice sharp images Kerry. Cloning out the branch will help the 3rd a lot. Still in two minds over the high key background though.
Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2005 5:18 pmThanks for the kind comments, guys. Not much to do about the bright background at the scene. For some reason, the walls of the pen were painted an off white color, which really reflected the sun into your eyes. 
I don't much understand the thinking of most of the people that designed the zoo pens that I've seen. One would think that if they expect people to enjoy viewing the animals, they'd make it so you could see them without all of the issues that could be so easily avoided.

Well, I suspect that he got the idea from his visitors. Kinda sets him apart from the crowd, you know.

He reminds me of me, when I was a lot younger, 'cept that he's prolly more handsome and obviously smarter than me, when I was his age. I didn't have a cool fur coat either.
