The handsome waterbuck

[RakeshDhareshwar]

I saw a lot of different species of antelopes and deer , but the most handsome was this species of waterbuck simply because of the ear pattern.
Here , he was alert to our movement and I loved the eye contact .

Camera : Canon 1D Mk III
Lens : 600mm f4 IS
Aperture : f8
Shutters : 1/500
Speed : ISO 1250

Cheers,
Rakesh

Lovely portrait in soft light Rakesh...I find Waterbuck to be quite photogenic but struggle to find good photo opportunities with them, though on my recent trip I was able to make some nice portraits with mopanis in autumn coloration around.
Lovely ear patterns indeed. The image overall looks to be a tad green or even cyan? Easy to correct with color balance or something similar in PS...:w3

Thanx Morkel . Am reposting the same with correction in White Balance .

This is a brilliant portrait and after the correction it is even better.

Rakesh, What a superb photograph! Love the soft light and the perfect right down the lens barrel stare. And that sweet BKGR. And the superb sharpness. Beautifully framed as well. Did I mention that I love it?

This is one kick butt capture, Rakesh. It is so realistic that I almost feel as though I could reach out and pet it. The details are tremendous, and I like it's ears too!
