I like it as it is, if it makes any difference :-) It's sports, the
ball is more important, the camera does not exist. Very fond of the
hair in front of the eyes and the blue-red-blonde combi. Pity the
glasses stuck to the chest.

 4. skillful use of fill flash might have improved colour balance.

At 150mm you would have to experiment a bit, is my inexperienced
guess.

Thanks, Pat in SF,

I didn't notice the ears when I was shooting, only after I got the print 
back.  I immediately thought of my infamous self-portrait, though.  Quite 
serendipitous, eh?

Thanks for your thoughts!

cheers,

I have only browsed part of this month's PUG, but thought it was time I gave
some feedback. Here goes:

Australasian Harrier-Max McRae
--Awesome looking predator. Zoo? What zoo?

Boris-Butch Black
--a handsome fellow. My condolences on the anniversary of your loss. I, too,
have lost such a beloved one.

For Those Who Hate Cats - a Double Dose-Lon Williamson
and
Kiki-Jim Meeks
--ok, there *have* to be dog owners among us. Where are your canine shots???

You Otter be in Pictures-Dan Matyola
--That behind the scenes tour was worth it.

Jellyfish-Stephen Pruetz
--Great contrast. I had a similar experience at the Monterey Bay Aquarium,
California.

You Can't See Me -- Nana Nana Na Na-E.R.N. Reed
--I think the lizard is doing a good job; so is the photographer

Afternoon of a Caterpillar-Mark Cassino
--That caterpillar must not have been very hungry. I enjoyed the somewhat
creaminess of the colors.

Crater Lake, Oregon-Steve Larson
--WOW. I love the blueness. Was that the effect of the polarizer?

Sunset-Alan Chan
--Another wow. Nothing else to say.

A Storm Approaches-Brendan Bhagan
--I'll have to remember that tea is a multipurpose beverage.

Pt. Reyes Lighthouse-Bruce Dayton
--Morning light will be behind the photographer (and lighting up the light
house) and not in your face like in the afternoon. Having made this same
journey before, I can say that it's a lot harder coming back up those 300+
stairs. Too bad it was foggy  windy the days I've gone. I have yet to see it
in full sunlight.

Grand Tetons-Jerome Reyes
--Goody. A picture to go with the tale of you cross country trip.

My Chevy-Paul Stenquist
--Vroom, vroom. Very nice classic car.

Scale-Simon King
--I like the strong lines in this photo. It just draws your eye straight to the
family at th end.

Autumn-Martin Mielke
--Ahh, the memories. Lovely shot.

That's all for now,

Hi Pat,
 Thank you very much! Yes, I did crank the polarizer on full blast to get
the water really blue. I wish I had more time at the lake to try more
lenses.
 I should have been using a more saturated film instead (as Butch
pointed out). I`d like to try Konica Impressa 50 next time.

BTW, my critique of my own shot:
1. blue cast - partly scanner but also on the film.  Should have had a
warm-up filter on this bright but overcast day.
2. slight cutoff of subject.  Naughty boy, you are old enough to know
better.  Fixed length lens = more use of feet.
3. _maybe_ would have been better if she had been looking at camera.  I
am far too slow and unpractised to catch real decisive moments.
4. skillful use of fill flash might have improved colour balance.
