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

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

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.

Hi Nathaniel. An interesting experiment and shows you have an eye for composition.The beauty of the digital age is you can experiment as much as you like so go for it.
Hey, only two weeks in, and you're already getting creative! Please... describe to us what you were going for?
I was going for the stars peaking through the tree canopy but everything came out super saturated. Looks like I went over board with HDR.
Hi Nathaniel -- Looks like you nailed the star exposure. As you said, the trees/foreground look a little unnatural. One alternative to an HDR composite would be to "paint" the trees with a flashlight or headlamp. Light painting would allow you to be more selective about exposure values in the foreground. Good luck!
