This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

If this were my photo, I would crop off more than half of the uninteresting sky. The wispy clouds just aren't doing anything for me.
I'd also get a little creative with the B&W conversion, using some dodge and burn to highlight the buildings in the foreground and accentuate the textures of the mountains.
I feel like the foreground is too close to the bottom edge of the photo, but this can only be corrected if you have a slightly different original with more room to experiment.
As usual, great job with the monochrome, Phillip!
Hi Chris. Thanks for dropping by.
@ Philip. As I remember, there were few distractions at the base so the houses got a lower in the frame. However, the distractions can be corrected later.
Colour version: I understand your take on the proportion. this food for thought is good for comparison.
BW version: I got your chromatic suggestion. Leads to develop vision independent while seeing the BWs.
Thanks for your review.
