By the Lake

Burchell's zebra at Lake Nakuru National Park, early morning.

Like the composition & lighting here Hilary, although would have preferred a narrower DOF on BG for mine.

Nice lakeside scene. Seems everybody's busy getting ready for the day.

Nice light here, agree with Marc regarding DOF, but not sure if you would get any better at 400mm.

A lower POV, probably not possible from vehicle would have been nice to see.

You might be right Ken, don't know much about this 100-400 capabilities.

I have looked at this a couple of times before commenting, Hilary.

For my own taste, it is all a little too busy and there is not a clear message coming through the image.

Light is good, though I imagine the water is having a negative impact on the exposure for the Zebra.

I'm fine with the DOF Hilary and I like the birds in the BG...though the blacks are a bit too black for me, might open up just a tad to try and recover some detail there (as Russel said could be the water jinxing the meter of the camera)

[Hilary Hann]

Thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated.

Morkel, perhaps I overdid the contrast adjustments! :t3
