Got this Blackbuck at Jayanangali Blackbuck reserve at Karnataka India ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayamangali_Blackbuck_Reserve)

have cloned out some sticks from the bottom of the frame and also some black patches in the BG.

Spec: 1/4000, F 5.1, ISO 800

Mk4+500mm+1.3

regards,

Kiran.

This image is over the top, Kiran. I love everything about it. The light, the BG the jump. It looks as though it is jumping so incredibly high!!!

Hi Kiran,

I agree with Rachel and Marina. Wonderful image. Nice composition with space. The dark background and light on the animal are outstanding.

Agree with the others. Super image.

Hi Kiran, great capture and this really does illustrate the athletic prowess of this animal. You also nail your BKG too, which help to separate the subject very well. I do feel it might be a little saturated, however that might be due to the image having an untagged profile?

Good to see you posting here too.

I can offer no critique to this image - outstanding as is! Pose, background, composition are excellent and the light on the buck is absolutely outstanding!

Great work!

[Morkel Erasmus]

awesome moment and timing here Kiran :5
I too feel the colours are pushed a bit, good call on Steve picking up the untagged profile, converting to sRGB might fix it?

[Steve Kaluski]

Dropping the Red in Curves I think may also help too.

[Kiran Poonacha]
