What was your ISO on this Scott? Was this handheld? It looks a little soft, but more sharpening would take care of that. The DOF is adequate to get the important stuff, but more would have been better. Nevertheless, a solid character study.

ISO was 200. And handheld

thanks for the comments. I will try to sharpen it up.
the original was poorly exposed and fuzzy due to the plexiglass window and low light levels.
I have gone several directions in my attempts to fix it. ...including B&W. This is so far the most exceptable.

Considering the environment you were working in this is a good image of Tiffany. She must be pushing 50. I photographed her and Max in 1969 (?), when they were first at the Topeka Zoo and very young. BTW Scott, there is a keeper at the Miller Park Zoo, where I was the director who worked at the Topeka Zoo, and is well aware of her behavior. Sure brings back memories. TFS.
