Well Peter, I am sticking my neck out now, as I am working away and have no 'real' idea what the end result looks like, as I'm on the MB Pro laptop!I agree with you in that we need more different / interesting / pushing the boundaries as you put it. Well I regularly put my" neck out " with different images …. How about you Steve putting out something different than your norm .
Taken late afternoon, this warthog buried himself outside his home, an old termite mound. Shot from under the vehicle, I quite like the idea that he 'shovel' his was through the soil & debris. To the right was some very strongly lit grass which was a real distraction, hence going the route of toned B/W & crop, however it looses the warm colours of the subject.

...) But I do like it as is, and I am amazed to see the amount of detail you got on the subject (the eye, the hairs on the warthog's back and the tusks especially). Wonder what this image would look like in colour? Regarding crop, if this was mine I would have taken off some more from the top and bottom. I do not shy away from a square crop but that's just my "feel" on this image.
, this is such a nice surprise, err...what's next?
