Steampunk Composite with Making of Video
I didn't intend for this one to be a composite when I was shooting but when I sat down to edit a plain black backdrop didn't seem enough.

YOUNG MALE MALAYAN TIGER
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.

BLACK LEOPARD
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal

RED KITE
A small group of red kites were flying above my head, so I pointed my lens up, took a few shots, and hoped for the best. I got two decent shots out of it.

Foggy start to a Sunday morning
Down on the waterfront this morning, tide was out, Heron were sitting along the water fishing. There was a boat coming across the water from Bremerton heading into Port Orchard.

An amazing construction! I wish the model's pose and emotion fit the rest of the picture better. More drama, more action, possibly?
Sure, I get what you're saying. I didn't actually take the shot with the intention of creating a composite. it was a day where I was shooting 20 models in whatever they wanted to turn up in and then do some paper backdrop edits for them. One of them though turned up in a steampunk costume, and how often does that happen, so I knew I needed to use it. Personally I quite like the pose and expression. Looks comfrotable and in charge and confident to me. Though, yeah, not dramatic or interacting with the scene at all.
