    Hi Peter -- This image has a lot of sketchy feel to it , feels like a pencil sketch . I really liked the concept behind it . Did you overexposed it ? and is that grainy feel because of high iso ? Judging by the BG the light appears to be very harsh and hence a very good concept . Though i think the wildebeest behind the trunk are too close a bit more separation would have been better from my point of view ! Lets see what others have to say .

    TFS !

    Hi Peter

    Agree with Haseeb re the "sketchy" feel to this image.
    I know you like use high contrast on your images, this Elllie really stands out the plain, un-contrasty BG.
    Love the determination of the subject to get to water, against the lethargic WB lingering around in the dry wasteland...

    Would make a stunning A1 print!
    Regards

    Andre.
