Cape buffalo
This cape buffalo cow stood out to me out of a herd numbering in the hundreds near Satara in Kruger National Park.

An interesting take of this image... I'm fine with it.. The one oxpecker is a bit to close to the edge of the frame for me. Would have preferred just the one oxpecker. I also may have liked it framed a bit tighter, crop top and right! Good out of the box thinking here!

Hi Charles, would echo Dales comments, but just check the IQ can stand a tighter crop, I think it can. Adding a couple more rounds of selective USM brings out more clarity in the eye, ear & horn. May I ask why you chose f/4?

Hi Steve, thanks for the comments. I'm lying in a hospital bed recovering from a spinal procedure so the most I can wield is an iPad at the moment. Will give your and Dale's suggestions a try next week and put up a repost when my body's up to it. Reason for F4 was a mixture between a very overcast day, shooting a 500 for the first time having been used to shooting a 400mm (this was handheld) with no IS and I used to avoid high iso's on my old 7d. I agree a higher F stop would have been better and I no longer worry about higher iso's with my 7d mk2 and I'm way more trusting with the IS in my 500 having had a bit more experience.
