It's only a snapshot from an outing to the zoo, but this creature had a captivating stare.

Stare

Re: Stare
Might only be a snapshot, but it's a beauty. A moment captured. The full size version made me think that quite a tight crop around the head a neck puts even more attention onto that angelic face.

Re: Stare
Yes a crop was my thoughts. Possibly try changing to 5 x 4 ratio or from landscape to portrait orientation. But don't crop excessively close.

Re: Stare
Lovely; I would crop closer but leaving height. But that is just me and it is fine as it is.

Re: Stare
Very interesting shot, I like it. My only comment is that: it might be better to use a bigger aperture to make the background more blurred, and the main subject would appear more focused.

Re: Stare
Thank you all for your responses. I'll experiment with the cropping ideas (this version is as I saw it through the viewfinder). The aperture is as wide as the 55-250 goes, so there's not much that I can do about that one! It's a good suggestion though.
