Hi Ken,
feel there is something "wrong " in this image.A lot of clone work i suppose. Is that true ? If so ,i would declare it. I have done it before,not good.Honestly this looks composed.
The subjects themselves look good in all terms,but the FG and BG looks heavily processed in terms of clone work and not properly done!! Sorry Ken !

Cheers Andreas

Great species - never even heard of them. And I know how you like Hartebeests :t3.
Sorry for missing this. Good exposure with the overcast light. Something looks odd on the BG, interested if you did some work to it?

Morkel.

Without a doubt the BG is awful, something I did not do a good job in trying to verify. The same thing has spoiled most of my Oribi as well.

I had only ever heard about it from books!
