Big Cat Safari

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to agree with Brian and say just what a marvellous day I had on Saturday - it was incredible to get that close to such magnificent creatures. Many many thanks to Brian and Paul for arranging it all.

I'm posting some of my efforts from the day. They're all unmodified apart from a minor cropping here and there. I usually find it difficult to know what manipulation might look 'better'... Should I convert to black+white? What needs fixing, etc? Then once I start fiddling around I sometimes don't know when to stop...!

All comments on these pictures welcome...








This is a republication of my previous post (somehow a couple of images diappeared?)

Hi Steve

It was great to get so up close and personal with the big cats. It's good to see you cropping and thinking about manipulation, the main point I would raise would be saturation. The cats have such wonderful colours in their coats and I would like to see that showing through more.

Thanks for the comment, Brian - you raise a very valid point about the the overall colour of my images.

As I said in my original post the pictures were all unmodified apart from a minor bit of cropping.

I'm now working on adjusting the images for the correct colour balance and then I'll be increasing the saturation a little bit...

I hope to post the modified images soon...
