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.....).

Thanks for the comments. I was using a split ND, but did not put the polarizer on the lens....now that you mention it, I think that might improve the image.....next time. Regards.
Personally, I like the shiny rocks. I think if you had used a polarizing filter to remove the shine, the foreground rocks might have been too dark and you'd lose a lot of definition in their surfaces.
But I think it might be slightly more interesting if the camera had been much closer to the ground to exaggerate the parallel lines of the rocks. Really force the perspective with a wide angle lens and use those converging lines to draw the eyes toward the couple.
I like this image, Thomas! I tend to agree with Phillip. A little more convergence on those lines would be nice.
One minor point - the sky is darker than its reflection, which is a bit of a give-away to ND grad use or heavy processing. Maybe I've seen too many photos, and know the "tricks" we use too well... Good job anyway!
I love the light and the colours, and that liquid look to the rocks - all too easy to kill with a polariser. From experience, when I use one in this kind of situation, I bracket the degree of polarisation, and often feel later that even the mildest is too much. A little can go a long way.
