    Such an odd looking but really beautiful animal. This shot is from my local zoo and it's a bit of an unusual pose. Hope you like the energy in it. The Okapi have a large enclosure at my local zoo but keeping the fences out of the frame is a challenge.

    Richard, I fully appreciate the point you make about fences but I have to be honest they do not add in any way. I hope I don't sound pompous or indeed cruel but I would personally not take a shot if I could not exclude fences, I fully admit I would have done years ago but not anymore.
    I think the mid tones and highlights in this difficult subject are fine but I would suggest lifting the darker areas. The eye is the special point in most animal pictures, I would also concentrate on making it a little more clearly distinguishable. Hope this helps.

    Didn't sound pompous at all. This is such a fascinating animal but his enclosure is quite large and he usually hangs out by the fences.
