They seem to know that they are photogenic.

So does this guy:

However, he seems to be a tad oversharpened, and over saturated. I guess that
was done in post since you couldn’t possibly get a shot that noisy and
oversaturated out of a D500. I see from the EXIF that the saturation was
pegged at +15, the vibrance at +12, and then you hit it with Dehaze at +17.
It might be to your taste, but not to mine.

And this guy thinks he is:

He would be if he wasn’t OoF, I guess you were shooting through glass. It
is also somewhat oversaturated. Again, I note that saturation is set at +66,
and vibrance at +14! There are a few other settings I find odd, but I guess
that is your process. I just find it strange to see such a low quality shot
(to my eye) from a D800.


Both are indeed low quality shots. They were saved in sRGB at low
quality. As to my oversaturation, I am not shooting for a catalog, or
scientific journal. I like doing an impression of the critters. But we
have had that discussion before. I do appreciate your comments, even
though we have different tastes.
