![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 1132 W: 105 N: 2609]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (7531) | I will post this under the Just Missed theme, because I got only one shot, and managed to crop the tip of the nose in the process as well. The yawn is great, but not missing the tip of the nose. Creative cropping and cloning, and viola!, that 1 mm that was needful can now be seen.
I am not overly fond of lions, but one prepared to give us a little bit of action, even if it is such a complete dismissal of ones presence, works wonders to get the shutter finger operative. I must say, the one thing I do NOT enjoy of the Sigma OS is that it is a donkey slow to respond, and there is no plan of a HSM, I believe. Canon, with their IS and HSM equivalent is miles ahead of the competition. If the lens had an HSM, I could have nailed at least 6 pictures during this yawn.
I was quite near, not more than say 3m, shooting handheld through the car window.
I added a WS of the original, untuched, just reduced to 72 PPI.

| I hope that you don't mind but I needed to try a Work Shop and this was the photo I was determined to practice on. I am not sure where I went wrong with the size within the framework, however I only wanted to see if I could do it and somewhat did. If you hadn't said anything re: the nose, noone would have been the wiser, I believe. Thank you for your tolerance in this. If you have any comments please feel free to contact me. |
