Barasingha doe

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks i like to try to contribute to this month theme ...... not sure if this works ....
So this image does show a Barasingha female i photographed in Kaziranga NP in northern India .They seem to be plentyful there but i actually missed them many times or just overlooked them for the key species .
They do look somehow a bit weird around the nose ...
I worked a bit on this image to get the desired " key lightning " as the BG was not as dark as in this post .The toughest part was to avoid the hair going darker so masking tricks took place .

Canon EOS 1D MK II n

Thanks for watching and commenting to my last posting
