    Steenbok in the dry riverbed in Damaraland, Namibia. It was on the move with its mate to find a place to exit the somewhat high walls of the riverbed.

    Hi Rachel, shows how well they blend into the environment. I might run some more selective USM on the subject, based on the techs it should be pin sharp, so a hint more should bring it up nicely.

    Hi Rachel,
    good to see an image of this nice little guys.
    Image looks good in all terms, and even a bit better in RP.

    I would try to open up the mid tones in the surrounding area, looks a bit dark to me.And maybe a tad more tonal variation.

    TFS Andreas

    Lovely image Rachel, well captured with great detail, colours and well exposed. My only suggestion would be to possibly try a pano style crop here loosing a little off the top, cropping is very subjective i know so just my take really

    Always nice to see these little cuties, Rachel. I love how they mate for life and stick together through thick and thin.
    I like the setting - different than the normal grassland scene they are found in. The RP is great. I see where Brendon is coming from re the crop, but as stated I like the context here so framing is fine for my taste.
