That is legend!

Was it cropped? If she was there in full, and if the raised leg wasn’t overlapping the paw print, it would be perfect.

Totally agree!  I don't know how I missed the post.   

[Snoogly]

I stand corrected! It was a sandy paw, not a paw covering a print.

Thank you both. I was surprise looking at the original to find out that is was indeed cropped. Here is the un-cropped version with the same editing otherwise

Paco, sorry to say, I would prefer the originally posted image.  I think the bold framing was one of the key factors that made the image attracting.

[golunvolo]

Not to worry Akira, even if I usually don't, I cropped for a reason  I forgot thou.

[Snoogly]

Now I’m torn … I realise now that the crop has more impact.

The crop gives more tension and also points more directly to the shadow, hence it works better,  great image, Paco

Love the atmosphere.  As seen in your image of the red signals, the lens seems to have a nicely haloing tendency?

Lovely portrait of a lovely lady, Armando.

Ditto!

Thanks Akira.   Yes, the 70-200/2.8E is an exceptional good lens. The VR is also fantastic.
