A 'shy' moment

[Steve Kaluski]

Set in Kenya, an early morning with a rather tender moment. Yes, perhaps a tighter crop for this one, but I have left it, 'as shot'.

I like it Steve, would not go any tighter, if anything a tad more space to the right for centering. Would lighten the face of the one looking straight ahead for stronger contact !!! Great mood !!

Hi Steve- This is an extraordinary shot. The lighting is absolutely beautiful as are the animals. If any of the 35mm holdovers still have doubts, they should take a look at this shot.

Nice moment captured. Almost looks like an off angled view of the animal looking at itself in a mirror. Also like the soft light, colors, and texture of the fur.

Thanks everyone, always good to have another POV.

Alfred, agree more room on the rhs, but sadly if i remember correctly there was something I was trying to crop out:confused:

Danny, can you please expand on this, as I am not too clear?

Thank you

Such tender image, good thing that you leave it ''as shot''. Love the warm mood here.
