Sometimes (often) a picture does not come out at planned but it can be fun to try a creative project and sometimes a nice shot might come about...

I recently wrote a short article based on my experiments with a Goldfish Bowl, Macro Fisherman and Boat, Sparkler and some water...

Enjoy

First, some apologies from last year. My Smilodon turned out to be a Sunda Clouded Leopard from Kalimantan. (All I had to go on was 'Extant sabre-toothed cat' on the label, which really confused the heck out of me....)

All was revealed when my other half returned from a collecting trip and put me right... ("Of course it isn't an ancient smilodon. It's an extant pseudo-sabre-toothed cat from Kalimantan called the Clouded Leopard...") Of course it was. So apologies to all...

I am quite a newb when it comes to post processing even though I did a lot of darkroom work in the '70s. Took this photo today and processed it in Lightroom CC this evening to dodge the highlights and burn the shadows as the original had a lot of range. X-E1 handheld with 18-55 at 32.9mm, 1/30, f5.6. Any advice and comments welcome.
