[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks another image from same location as the Elephants just opposite the clearing on the edge of the water filled pan.Etosha NP.

Hope you like it better as the ´messed´ up ellies .

Canon EOS 1D MK IV
EF 500 IS L
Window bracket + Gitzo fluid Head

F 9 ; Iso 320 ; 1/2000 sec

Processed with Photo Ninja and PS CC ; had to add canvas to LHS and Top for leveling and a wider crop .

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous thread.

C&C welcome, cheers Andreas

Excellent image Andreas! I like the tongue sticking out and rich colours.

[Gabriela Plesea]

The reds really appeal to me Andreas, so does the golden sun on the RHS- lovely image, like the Velvia touch, well done!

Kind regards,

[Morkel Erasmus]

Now I am going to delete my giraffe silhouette. Top class lighting, exposure and mood.

[Gregor Bergquist]

I really love this one Andreas. Perfect !

[Rachel Hollander]

Hi Andreas - Beautiful silhouette with deep sunset colors. Well done! I'm curious if you used sharpen edges on the giraffe?

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Andreas

Beautiful colours..! Love this. I think little things like the rim lit legs and sparklie grass tops LLC are important contributors in this sort of image also.. well for me anyway..

regards

DON

[Andreas Liedmann]

Thanks to all of you who gave feedback to this image , glad you like it.

Morkel - no need for throwing away , follow Steve and try different , you will not get the colors or the mood , but you will get something .............
Rachel - never use that filter

Thanks again , Andreas

Very nice sunset colour here Andreas, with the raspberry a nice bonus.

Good luck in the WC final on Sunday, I have quite a bit of money riding on Deutschland, after my Netherlands bowed out last night.
