Going through some old files from my 7D that I had never processed so thought I'd give it a go. 7D IS0 800?? 70-200 2.8. (Originally thought it was 10D, but I think I was wrong)

Hi

I am not a lover of the lower stuff - but otherwise a great looking half portrait with good details

All the best

John, this is a beautiful portrait of this prickly guy. I would tend to crop up to get rid of the blur.

I can see why you included the bottom strip with its view of the paw and claws but I would crop that sliver of oof area and concentrate on the wonderful face. So full of character and with such superb detail,its a really excellent portrait of this little porcy John!

Thanks for the comments! I can see the distraction of the lower stuff. Unfortunately he was on the road and I had to get into the ditch to blur out that road look hence the OOF. I agree cutting it would work better.

My nemesis creature, or at least one of them! Before I was a photographer, I used to see them all over the place and within easy photo range. Now I seldom see them. I feel that the porcupine and badger are two of the most photogenic creatures, as far as rendering in an image goes. The fur is striking.
It would not bother me to cut off the lower portion, as suggested, since it is truly a portrait.

Very cool portrait John, I agree on cropping out the bit on the bottom.
