A classic shot you have here with an intense stare and completely unaware of the photographer. I love the composition and the setting. Great shot.

[Morkel Erasmus]

agree with Peter on the NR - lovely light and compo...
looks like it has a slight green/cyan cast?

[Marc Mol]

Beautiful lighting & comp Hendri, with a great intense stare by this young one, looks around a year old?

Sweet light, pose and animal Well framed and like how you got a clean face ! Tech wise (thinking back) would have gone with f 4.0 to half the ISO? .. would have given adequate dof !! Sweet as presented and easy to clean the noise !!! Big Congrats !!!

Great light and I like the highlights in the eyes. The surrounding grasses are very nice as well.

[Ken Watkins]

Fabulous environment shot proving that you can combine grass with the subject. Great eye!

[Steve Canuel]

Nice light and pose. Agree with others regarding NR. Might also slightly lighten the dark spot on the BG behind the head. With the shadows on the head, it looks like it's something that's been missed in processing.

Thanks everyone. Your comments appreciated and I agree with noise. Yes Marc, I would guess about 1 year old at that time.
