Beautiful portrait, love the down the barrel stare, and those eyelashes! And just to finish it off you even got a smile!

Hi Ben - these guys are hard to get to stand still so well done in getting a portrait. Nice detail and sharpness. You did well at a relatively slow ss with the 500. There's a lot of blue coming through. If it were mine I would reduce it.

TFS,

Hi Ben

Thinking of going back to Etosha after 15years to try and get an image of these very special bokkies..

Hope you don't mind, did RP- Sat layer with reduce sat on blues and increased lightness, tried to increase luminosity in left eye to get detail and did mid tone boost with action and brush- 5min.
WDYT?

[BenBotha]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I agree about the colour.

[BenBotha]

Andre, I think something between your edit and my repost. ? A little too much yellow in the background of my repost.

Hi Ben , i like the tight portrait of these skittish Antelopes you present here .
Nice detail and tones , color is already mentioned and more or less fixed .

Nice one, TFS Andreas

Hi Ben- Lovely portrait and POV of the Dik - dik. All other has already been said. Framed nicely IMO too.
