toller kontrast! nur find ich hier fast schade das der hintergrund freigestellt ist.
Aug 6th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
Danke, aber leider geht das in diesem Zoo nicht anders da die Wand im Hintergrund total hässlich ist.

Du kennst aber auch alle bei namen und die kennen dich bestimmt auch sehr gut .. rufst du die auch bei Namen so das die kommen und für dich posen :)

Lol, in Wuppertal weniger. Dort bin ich höchstesn zwei bis drei Mal im Jahr. Aber Kanschi ist eine Handaufzucht, daher liebt sie es Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen.

You and Alannah Hawker are stars with this animal photography. I love it!
Aug 5th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
*blush* Thank you so much! but I still think Alannah beats me by far.

She is something, I give you that, never the less...

Lol, take a guess who got me into this style and explained to me how the edit works.
Aug 6th, 2011 ReplyGarapan
I just peeked at your Shadowness profile page. And guess who I saw talking to you there like old friends, lol! As they say, the cat is already out of the bag.

I would almost nearly swear by my mother's love that the animals she photograph's adore her more than peanut butter and pose for her camera on purpose.

Hehe we talk on msn like daily. Who knows maybe she always has a steak in her photo bag. ;)

Sweet of you.

The contrast is perfect on this one. There's something very soothing and elegant about this shot. Do you have any of these pictures on your wall? :D
Aug 5th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
Thank you Meng. No so far not. The thing with my walls is there is hardly space on them because my appartment is directly under the roof lol

Beautiful work. The desaturation is perfectly judged and really brings the subject to life. Excellent work.
