Many of us enjoy wildlife photography while on safari and our dear brother Wink is no exception...in fact several months ago I was privileged to see some from his private collection.

I saw this photo posted in our Photo Album forum and saw its potential...I pm'd Wink and asked him if he would mind if I had a go at it?

Every time I see a photo I'm like a CRACK-ADDICT...I gotta have it and I want MORE

I'm posting this because many of our members just don't have the time to enhance their photos....yet their sitting on fantastic images...true TrophyShot of the ALIVE kind

If I can be of service please give me a shout

I don't only offer prints but I'm now offering to do 1200px wide images for computer-viewing and sharing of your private photo collections.

BEAUTIFUL capture Wink and thank you!...as I mentioned I just love environmental shots just as much as shooting tight in-camera.

I'm certain quite a few others will feel the same as you

It's just my rendition of the photo...no problem it's all part of the territory.

Cheers brother

Late-Bloomer,I am all for improving picture quality but there must be some better way-perhaps a better lens?

There is a lot more detail in the first pic.

George fortunate for you I have the day off so I can give you the attention you demand...let me finish my smoke and I'll be back in two minutes Hon I promise

Well I am certainly glad to see that shootaway is still an arrogant pos that lives to find fault with other people.

Yes, there is more light in the first picture, but in the second picture, the emphasis is on the elephant, I like the second picture better because the original point the picture was taken, was the elephant, not the trees.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think the person taking the picture was more intent on what the elephant was doing than anything else.

Thanks!
But my George is NOT a POS...he's just DIFFERENT that's all...He's wonderful when you get to know him

Okay George...I'm baaackkk...

BTW George you do know this is un-becoming of ourselves...Don't you?
We're creating a SPECTACLE of ourselves

But...
#1- You LIKE the first image better...I say Great!
#2- You LIKE the first image because it has more light...I say GREAT!
#3- You say I screwed up the image...I say I just did it my way...that's all!
#4- You like the first image better because it has more detail...I say Great!

I say that was an EASY one George...you okay Sweet?

I'm all good

Just some criticism thats all! All for the better,IMO! I have seen some pics that were improved,However!

Love you too George...If ya need me I'll be here all day...if not, I'll see ya in the morning

Have a GREAT day George and I mean it most sincerely

You can call on me anytime and for any reason

Good night George we all need criticism from time to time and don't you ever STOP dishing it out here...we could all use your wisdom and compassion ...I believe in you George....Now, turn off the lights please

You Sir, are entitled to your opinion, I am entitled to mine.

shootaway, by his remarks concerning your work merely proves the point, that as others have been trying to make, he has some really deep rooted issues.

You can think what you wish of him, but I am not sure I would be so kind hearted, knowing up front that any work you might do for him has the potential of being critiqued in a manner that could harm your business.

Go look at the videos and see how hard he is trying to discredit the PH.

Crazyhorse-those that I do business with including the ones that I hunt with need not worry about anything-that is because I only do business with the best.

I hear you my friend and appreciate your comments...I think me and my customers will be okay...maybe I lost a few potential customers today because George was getting a bit frisky...Nevertheless, I wanted to be sure my Darlin' was fine and had a chance in having a good day like the rest of us...no more and no less...some people have to work through life with the cards that life dealt...some get through it much better than others...some never make it---it's a tragedy...I ain't Mother Teresa...but I can handle George easy-peasy...It's called ALOHA!

Actually I like them both!

They both have different qualities that add to the overall picture.

I would be proud of either of them.

One think is certain though...I would sooner slam my dick in a car door than agree with Shootaway!

Me too!
That's why I chose his photo
And NOT every photo demands the treatment either...its just that Wink was kind enough to allow me the freedom to enjoy whatever I wanted to do with the image...
Wink is a damn AWESOME photographer!!!

And another point I'd like to mention here..ART is so very subjective...I can do this photo in a myriad of ways...and I EXPECT some may liken to them and others NOT...and it's all OKAY folks!

I'm not insecure

Art is what it is...it makes no difference for me to have a favorable opinion or not...it's just my display...and I accept your opinion without hesitancy or controversy...it all comes with being an artist ...and I'm okay with that!

Heck my mother when she was alive never gave me a thumbs-up for anything I created...But I loved her still

So what I'm saying is ALWAYS feel free to share your opinions if you'd like as I want to hear them...it's all good for my soul

But I have to stay true to my art form....whether even not one agrees...TRUTH to myself is what matters...no more and no less.

It's all good

Isn't this fun! I have a few versions of the same photo myself and I enjoy seeing what someone else, especially Roland, can get out of it.

It is FUN indeed...I dig this stuff and can never have too much of it

I would love seeing other folks versions too...not just my own

I can get cooking in a jippee

Wink...just wanted to give you an assortment of different looks...obviously not my best work as I just rushed through them for FUN if you look at the intervals between my postings.

However, it does show there are a myriad of versions that you could go with on ALL your images not just this one.

Just keep playing my friend and create the right one that suits you and no other

I'm always here for you if you want another opinion

Thank you for allowing me to play it was FUN

IF YOU CARE TO KNOW ABOUT MY WORKFLOW JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT...No problem my friend
I'd be happy to help!!!

It's all FUN!!!
