Close-up shot of a warthog in early morning light. Canon 1DIV, EF 300 f2.8II, 1.4TCIII, 1/320, f4.5, ISO 250, beanbag rest. Standard workup in CS6, comments appreciated.
Hi Gerhard - Very nice portrait in beautiful light. Nice detail and pov. I just wish for a little more room below. If it were mine, I would burn the highlights on the tusks slightly.
Was going to say exactly what Rachel said. The colour palette is lovely and the details great. Just enough dof to cover the whole WH. I think you cropped just below the chin because of grasses coming up underneath - can just see them appearing in the bottom of the frame.

The light has provided nice depth to the pig's skin and features. Gorgeous tone of light as well.
I agree with the comments above on toning down the tusks somewhat.
Just echoing the congrats on a sharp picture in great light. I think I agree with Jamie on the top left corner as well as it could be a distraction for some.
