Can you post some of your best pics with the fisheye? Its a lens Ive been wanting for a while but I dont know if I'd be using it enough to justify a purchase.

Its either that or a standard wide angle. I think a wide angle may be more useful to me. and fish eye would be more like fun.

my next lens will probably have to be a macro, Ill be needing it for future projects Im working with.

a fisheye won't be as useful as a wide angle lens IMO

i think if you really captured the sense that he's in an enclosed space, it would give it more of a sense that he's being held in captivity, so perhaps show more of the area that he's enclosed in...

A higher res shot of a prior photo simply because the skin texture is interesting imo


this isn't the full size however, in the original full size, its crazy detailed.

this was one crazy looking bird. Looks all prehistoric.

the texture is interesting, how much saturation increase is there in the photo?

I think the fence is enough proof he is in some sort of enclosed space.

^^

BTW, is that an orangutan?

zero

vibrancy +11 however.

The picture style I sway towards are high vibrancy, high sharpness and slight underexposure.

My friend however is the opposite, she photographs a lot of wedding type events, she likes the soft defocused, desaturated look slightly over exposed.

it does, but i think it would convey a much stronger message if more was shown so actually show some isolation and what not....u know? just my 2 cents
