Can you make one pleeaaaase I’ve been so busy!!!
Welcome!
I love the composition and lighting. Also, there’s the sense of capturing an unguarded moment. Overall, it’s a lovely shot.
(Young male, yes? Still has baby spots, but it looks like he’s got a mane starting to come in.)

How do people navigate through here to (re)find the photos to vote on? It may be that I am less familiar with how the forum works and am missing something. I was thinking/hoping there might be a way to link to the photo from the poll, but clicking in the poll casts a vote automatically which wasn’t what I was intending to do. Is the only option here to scroll and remember dozens of pics? Help, maybe? Thank you.
I’ve been wondering the same thing! I was thinking maybe you could link a post in a poll, or maybe link a link, though I really don’t know!
Scroll. Upwards. It’s the only way.
Great picture.
I have no idea how cropped this is but If not too much already maybe crop into more of a portrait look.
I say this because there is a reflection at the bottom of the pic. The other thing you could try is a dark linear filter on the bottom to reduce the light.
Okay, thank you.
That sounds dramatic, like from a movie or something!
finally!

Heck, IDs of any sort. Very tricky with standard macro gear pushed to its max too. And I’ve only seen what I think is them a few times and always while shooting for the slime mold or fungi they’re feeding on. Here’s my best two attempts and not what I exactly hoped for either. Nice to know I’m not the only one challenged by these near-magical
little beauties.
