Hi Sanjeev -- you seem to have taken a lot of images with the 100-400mm , lovely details and nicely framed . As a part of nitpicking i would recommend a slight mid tone boost , but again that could be me . Nicely done and TFS !

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Thanks Haseeb. Yes the new 100-400 II is really a fine lens and now is a permanent part of my kit along with the 70-200 2.8 II. And I enjoyed shooting with it paired with my 500 II (my fave lens) Will look at the midtones again. Thanks.

Hi Sanjeev - Really great pose and comp with nice detail. I love the giraffe in the bg. The only things that detract for me are the tree or branch coming down between the two tusks and the bare tree out of the ear in the ulc.

TFS,
Rachel

Hello Sanjeev,

I am busy catching up after two weeks of absence and cannot wait to see what you have been up to:bg3:

This is lovely, wonderful pose from the ellie and that raised trunk makes it even more attractive! Nice detail and I love to see those little hairs on the trunk, good detail, good exposure, no complaints about processing whatsoever:)

Chobe was good to you...And so was the 100-400mm, very nice work my friend...

Kind regards,

[William Dickson]

Lovely pose and great details. I love the position of the trunk, and I also like the BG showing the giraffe. Nice one and thanks for sharing.

Will

Hi Sanjeev lovely salute !!!
Well framed with lovely colors , i love that you got the eye that much visible as we know not all the time that easy to achieve with these guys :cheers:.Well processed with nice detail and sharpness.

I might only boost the 1/4 tones a tiny bit for more depth and form in the subject , just m thoughts .

TFS Andreas
