Hi Marc,
I like the detail, composition and the POV. The clean background adds to the image.
Well done and thanks for sharing,
Mark.

[Brendon Cremer]

Great image, well captured in nice soft light. great eye contact and lovely angle, only small nit is image look a bit crispy a tad over sharpened but easily fixed.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Lovely profile here in good light.
I agree with Brendon's assessment and also feel it's a bit on the "green" side, WDYT Marc?
:Whoa!:

[Ken Watkins]

Marc,
So they have "mohicans" in Luangwa as well, or is he still young?
Colours are confusing me to me it looks a little yellow, my new monitor is on its way at last, or so they say

[Marc Mol]

Appreciate the comments guys, many thanks.
Granted the muzzle area is perhaps a tad over sharpened, a result of web resize perhaps, but I'm not seeing any green or yellow cast here Ken & Morkel on my cal monitor?
Definitely a mohican Ken, as I think he is around 6 yrs.:w3 plus the yellow you maybe seeing is (I'd like to think) the lovely early golden light .:bg3:

[Hilary Hann]

What a handsome animal Marc, really like the way he is looking so intently in the camera's direction. The background is a big bonus.

[Rachel Hollander]

Marc - nice to see you posting again. Nice regal portrait with good detail and eye contact and clean bg. They don't often come together. Must be a powerful coalition, he doesn't appear to have many battle scars yet.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Marc, Agree with the above, lovely light and great detail of this handsome specimen. Wonderful expression captured. He will certainly do the "MGM" logo proud :S3:.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Superb close-up Mark, love the detail, eye contact and early morning light TFS :cheers:

[Morkel Erasmus]

No, looks fine tonight on my calibrated desktop monitor, Marc. This morning I was viewing on a calibrated laptop so might check that one again :w3

[Marc Mol]

Thanks Viv, Hilary, Rachel & Pieter.

I know what you mean Morkel, I have 2 X Dell HD 24" U2410's set up as dual monitors both calibrated simultaneously with a Spyder Pro 3,
and my newer one has just a slightly warmer tone, so I've had to manually tweak the RGB settings on it........go figure??:Whoa!:

Great portrait Marc. Nice detail and clarity and I like the OOF hint of the bush in the BG of the lower left.
