    This Black-Backed Jackal was waiting patiently for the Lions to let him get to their Giraffe, a more pleasant aspect from the sighting from which I posted a couple of days ago. Taken in Ruaha National Park, Uganda (where there is definitely no shortage of Lions)3rd July 2012,

    Hi Ken

    Very nice portrait. Like this comp and this kind of habitat. Makes for god BG. I think the BG color works very good with the colors of the Jackal. I like how the light reflects in his eye, but isnīt his eyes/face a bit soft?

    TFS, Gregor

    Gregor,
    Thanks for the comment, I am happy with the sharpness as is, I really do not like to over sharpen very often, in this case it could be that a little more DOF was required as the nose seems sharp.

    Like the low perspective here Ken, with a nice cunning pose, agree with just a tad more sharpness on the face for mine.

    Marc,

    Clearly senility is fast creeping in, oh well

    By the way I was in the vehicle.So would you be if you had 13 Lions eating a Giraffe a few metres way from you, they were not at all disturbed!
