    Hi Geoffrey - Nice to see the tsessebes. I wish the calf was out a little further so that it's head wasn't partly hidden by mom. I don't know if you could have moved the vehicle to get a better shooting angle. If it were mine I would give it a bit more punch with a curves layer and crop down just a sliver from the top to give a clean green edge on top. Here's a rp along those lines.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Good catch of mom and calf. Sure it would be nice to see more of the calf (and I think we did before or after this frame), but I like the sense of mom protecting calf in this one. Rachel's repost certainly gives it more pop -- maybe more than in real life but it makes for a handsome frame.

    Thanks Rachel, and Bill. Rachel, thanks for taking some time on your repost, and it does add a bit more punch although I was trying my best to replicate the actual light quality. Maybe splitting the difference.
