Oh my that panda is just gorgeous and beautifully shot. I thought for a moment it was getting a bit of a buzz from whatever it's eating...it's that look in the eyes again!

Apparently, its bamboo or that's what they tell us anyway, perhaps it "Panda nip" as opposed to "Cat nip"? :D

Thanks for dropping by Emma :)

Stone Lion... nice touch with the sunburst popping through, good timing.

Third one... Nah, not for me at all...were you bored :whistle:
 
Stone - good shoe horn the red Panda is lovely. I like the starburst on the stone lion too.

Simple but effective Eh? :D

Thanks for dropping by guys :)
 
  • Stone - You're showing your age if you're weighing in lbs and stones, you'll be pricing things up in LSD next. Very nicely taken sharp shot and a very startled look on his face. What were you doing to him?
  • Simple - I love the first shot, such a cheeky look on his face :) squeek.
 
Well Mr.C., nicely sharp on the eyes and those claws .. yikes! What on earth are they up to in #2 .. back scratching?
 
Ah ... another vicious-looking caged animal. Plus missionary position bonus shot. (y)

Did I leave my reflection in again? b****r!
:D

Thanks for the kind comments guys, they are appreciated :thumbs:

( / goes off to edit my thread title, I do the other ones for the 52's and forget mine :D )
 
Well it had to be a meerkat for this week, didn't it?!?

Nicely done, but it's definitely oversharpened - same problem rearing its head! It's a shame because it does detract from the image for me (makes it look too processed) and I know it's not your doing!!

Thanks Paul :)

I've softened and darkened the hairs on the back of its head, does it look any better?

I think I mentioned before the Marcel was looking at a "new" image host, following on from quite a few observations, that images were erm, a bit crap.
I'll have to remind him.

pjm1 said:
and don't want to keep going on about it so I'll stop there!!

LOL no worries Paul, its all fair comment, I'll try posting a little of the "soft side" next time and see if that's any better ...

And be honest when I do :)
 
Love the red panda and the meerkat has a great expression in the first shot - brilliant!
 
There was a programme on recently whereby they tried to explain how someone had taught a sliver back to communicate
using sign language, was it mimicry or a reasoned attempted to communicate?

However this one left me in no doubt what he was trying to say, you can clearly see the second word is off :D

This one has always been one of my favourite piece of sign language :D

Its obviously [PLEASE DON'T TRY TO BYPASS THE SWEAR FILTER] :D
Or even maybe he was just calling me an a******e when I asked for a gob shot :D
 
That's a beautiful shot of the silver back Chris - very expressive. If by chance you didn't get the message, then the wolverine is giving you the visual interpretation in Sign. I like the Re-shoot best for the sharp focus on the eyes and the detail :clap:
 
Love the gorilla shot :)

The signing gorilla is actually a 44 year old female called Koko.
She was good "friends" with Robin Williams, and apparently cried when told of his death.

Quick catch up from me

Stone isn't a shoehorn at all if you think laterally, or have been on the dope again, and he's cute into the bargain :D

Simple :dummy:I said no meerkats.....and I think the reshoot is the best of the three shots

Signs is a cracker. Such expression on that face and giving you the come on by the looks of it :eek:
