Comment by Melethia:
When you get a dSLR (rumor has it you will) and if you get a chance, go reshoot this. Find a ledge or something to set the camera on, and use the self-timer. Set the aperture to about f/7.1 or so in Aperture Priority mode (you have downloaded and are reading the manual, right?) and see what it tells you as a shutter speed. Now set the camera to manual mode, leave the aperture at f/7.1, but set the shutter speed a stop faster than it told you. Take a shot. Now change the aperture to one stop smaller and take it again. When shooting at night (and I learned this from SandyP), underexpose by a stop or two.

Comment by Louis:
Works excellently as a high-contrast b/w. Three elements make this work particularly well: the animal and its spots, against the the more formal vertical lines of the rough fence in back, and the whisps of grass stalks at the bottom. Nicely done.

Comment by Louis:
Very pretty. In my opinion the centred composition works very well, and the little cluster of silhouetted people at right is a great balance.

This looks like its taken from Camden NJ...Dangerous place. Photo could be a bit sharper. Perhaps a higher ISO might've helped.

interesting concept, but it just doesn't seem to work well for me. something about the colours seem to fake.
