Baboon Lunch - Mana Pools

[Douglas Bolt]

Canon 5DM3, Canon 400 f5.6@f5.6, 1/1250, ISO 800, HH from safari vehicle, healthy crop. PP: Bridge/CC.
Not much goes to waste in the bush, especially elephant poop.

This guy was a hoot. Nice moment/expression captured there Douglas.
I think it needs leveling - CCW rotation, about 1-2 degrees? I know the baboon and the dung line where he is sitting is probably quite level, it just feels slanted?

Hi Douglas, nice and sharp. You got the eye contact. I'd suggest to brighten it a tad. Loi

Hi Douglas - nice look at a baboon. The placement in frame and low pov work well. I agree with Morkel on straightening and would also open the midtones slightly.

TFS,

Next time I go to Africa I must try some ele ----!! Lovely shot a great moment, maybe consider lightening the dark areas around the eyes just a little bit.

Hmm Hmm yummy digging in the Elephant left over .
Nice moment captured . A wee bit heavy on contrast for my taste . If you even out the contrast you would get more detail , i think.
I like the color palette .

A stark contrast to most of the landscapes from that location. I like the eye contact and pose, sort of a "take a picture, it'll last longer" look from the baboon. Agree with a little lightening of the dark shadows/blacks.
