I like the composition of the Tiger pic a lot but i feel like they both need a little PP to make them pop.

post-processing. send me the original of the tiger if you want me to see what I could do to it. I'm bored.

here's a couple looks:

There's a million ways you could go with it. It just looked kind of flat. It looks like you have all the settings in your camera set to '0', brightness, contrast, saturation, ect... This is great if you are going to post-process but if not I'd bump those. FWIW, I prefer leaving those at zero then adjusting what I want in photoshop or lightroom. I did these in lightroom...

Interesting. I'm not a fancy digital photog (yet?). I went to school for a couple of years for film photography though so can at least have an opinion.

The PP is very cool -- just from the perspective you can correct/change things after the fact. When I first looked at the photo my eye went to the blurriness of the photo. But after PP it not only was no longer a distraction, it was a feature. The face of the tiger came more to the forefront and the rest faded in importance.

I think I'll post up another thread in General about something I'm wondering about.
