Hello, I posted some of these on the animal thread, I hope it's not bad form to put them here as well... The animals are from Chester zoo, the elephants were a smaller crop than I would have liked from the original picture, but it was such a 'tender' family pose that I couldn't resist it. The boy is my friend's son, I used channel mixer to bring out his amazing freckles. I've only been taking photographs other than snapshots for about three months, so I'm just experimenting. I use a bridge camera, and to be honest I haven't really mastered it yet, so won't be getting a DSLR for a while. any criticism is welcome. I've read this thread beginning to end, I love BW.
