Hi, first shot I've uploaded in this side of the forum, but the cat further up inspired me to post it.


Was shot at ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/50s, 50mm using the 17-55mm kit (before I upgraded to the 15-85mm IS) on my dad's Canon 450D.


Lit by morning sunlight coming in through some very large windows at the other side of the room and a lot of bounce from a light wooden floor.


I think I was still shooting in Auto mode here, or at least AV and initially I was a little upset with the motion blur on Mickey's face, but the fact that his tongue is pretty sharp perhaps just brings the movement into the picture maybe? I'm not sure, I think I'd rather it was shaper. I'd still appreciate any comments on it, especially anything I could do in PP, because so far I've limited myself to colour balance and sharpening.

You'll see if you open the image in Flickr that I had a shot from before and after the yawn too which were a bit better on the blur front.
