PXL Shots

Awesome portrait of an extremely handsome and majestic big pussy cat.

Nice portrait!

beautiful! he looks fairly old

wow very nice what camera and lens are you using. has to be a canon lol

Actually, you are correct...Canon 50D; this was taken with a Tamron 500mm lens.

Majestic

The best lion shot so far, really well done, love the detail, amazing.

great framing, but a little bit oversharpened and oversaturated for my taste. High marks anyway

Purrfection and I ain't lion.

Thanks for all the comments...as far as sharpening and saturation...sharpen and saturation were done in camera, at settings allowed by a Canon 50D. The sharpen was a bit enhanced in post using CS4 at 50% 5 pixel radius 1 level; saturation and hue were not enhanced. This was the color and hue that resulted. Thanks again

Sharpening: I found 100% - 0.8 px - 0 a 'maximum' setting for pictures of about 1280 x 900, a tad wider (1.2 px) for 3000 x 2000 pics (w/out any pre sharpening in camera)

Thank you for the sharpening advice...It was extremely helpful and I will try it on the next couple that might need it. Greatly appreciated!

Well done. Good fit forthe theme. I like how you captured the wings in a motion blur and yet the head is still in focus. Great way to match the theme.
