Great to capture a detail like that - the sort of thing that's in front of (ok and a little over) us all the time but we don't take the time to observe. Maybe.

Knips knips - you're going to wear that wife out - I guess she's happy posing though. You'll have a fair bit of practice at this before the year's out...

I like snapshots. The perfect portrait, arguably, might be one where the subject is so relaxed and natural as to make the picture look like a snapshot. That opinion is dangerous and heretical, so beware. The sharpness works, as he's not about to be a teenage pop star :-)

Gratulerer med lillemannen - kan ikke skjemmes nok borte :-)
Is the face a bit blown out?
Register the shutter, aperture and ISO details with the file?
Only 50 left!

The Stalker

I've heard (read) it said that it's better to do the USM or whatever sharpening, after resizing, rather than before. It makes sense to me, what with the edges being prone to abuse during resizing, but I'm a lot less sure about the perceptible difference. I think this is a good shot and perfectly, or at least well, focussed. The edges and the body of the little fellah don't look too sharp though. May have something to do with the nature of the beast, i.e. that translucence. Larger format might have helped.
Anyway he's dead cute and I'm glad you got him in here. :-)

Very beautiful. I'm not so sure about the call of the wild, though. I think I get more of the fear of the wild from this. As in wild is wild and it's not easy on humans. I guess that means I got a fair bit of feeling out of the picture. No mean feat. :-)

Thanks for all the info on the patience and the logistics. That goes a long way to explaining how you got such an impossibly great shot. Iconicly good - thanks.
