Taken with the Olympus E-M1 and 40-150 f2.8 with the 1.4 TC attached. It annoys me that I cut off his tail.

nice capture, shame about the tail as you mention, perhaps crop closer and make it a body shot and tell em you did it on purpose?

Hahaha thanks Stephen. Trouble is I have an eyepiece extender on the 5DII and am having a bit of strife getting used to not having one on the Olympus. I may have to revert to the screen for composing but using the screen on an E-M1 flattens the battery so fast it is scary, so even though I have a spare I try not to use it.

Lovely shot, nice and sharp. Lovely big eyes. I reckon with a bit of mucking around you could add the tail Lloyd. I might have a fiddle with it myself. I'm laid up at present after having a bad fall while doing a Fremantle Twilight photography walk on Sunday with 42 other togs. The sad bit is that nobody took photos of it.

With tail...

Lovely image. I think it needs a little cropped of the top now.

[LJG]

Good one Isac, you are certainly better at PP than I am hahaha

Thanks Lloyd, it's what I do and enjoy and it's always a learning curve to keep trying new stuff in Photoshop. It's a powerful piece of software.
