Tommy in the rain

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

This was at Lake Nakuru. There was a light drizzle and it was a good setting to shoot tame mammals, though the light was a bit low.

Nice side-on pose here Sanjeev. I think you would have been better off shooting without the converter here as it's just too tight top and bottom for me...you needed a sliver more "breathing room".
I'm seeing some magenta and blue coming through in the horns, the ears and the whites in general.
I wonder if using f8 would have rendered the falling raindrops more defined, as they add to the image for me?

Hi Sanjeev - Nice to see a tommy, so often overlooked photographically. Morkel covered all the major issues for me- tightness of comp and color casts. I also think the blacks on the tommy are a little choked and that the head can use additional sharpening.

TFS,

A little tight for me but a great looking animal with some nice IQ.

Tightness mentioned and other great advice above......nice to see you didn't forget the tommies!

Very cute. Fantastic shot with great image quality. Like the soft light. The rain is a great bonus.

I like the shot. I agree with the rain giving this image something extra; I would also have like the drop to be more defined. IMHO the focus is on the horns and not the eye, which is a small nit as the overall IQ and mood set is awesome. TFS
