Very nice. The light looks pretty sweet. Love the eye contact you have captured here. Details look good and the depth of field looks fine to me.

Nice warm light Gabriela, and agree, perhaps you were just on the cusp for DoF? I'm just wondering about moving the whole frame a tad more to the left and having some negative space and less hyena body, albeit that this is almost FF.

Color on the bright side of the head is beautiful. I also in general like side light. And I also like shallow DOF, so looks great to me.

Love the inquisitive low POV pose here on this sub-adult Gabriela, in what appears more favourable light than what you mention below?

Understanding that these days you have thrown off the shackles of high ISO photography,
I guess you knew that indeed 3200 for the D4s is a piece of cake and could have easily granted you that increased DOF, however I take it that you were quite close and perhaps likely would have needed f/13 to get that required DOF.

Nicely detailed and good exposure, for me the head is just a little too central, otherwise I like it as is.

I think this is magic - amazing detail and great handling of that brighter and duller light ! Image also portrays something of the mischevious nature of the good old spotted Hyeana

Thank you all so much for kind comments,
Steve, I was a little upset when I saw this frame as I was hoping DoF was enough. And you are right about composition, glad to say I just found another frame that is suitable for the crop you suggested:)
Marc, I push the D5 a lot but go gentler on the D4. Maybe I shouldn't but I tend to think that the D5 handles better high ISO. And light looks lovely I know but the image was shot at 17:28 - the sun was setting. Oh well, I regret not pushing things a little more but it's too late now...
Kind regards,

It's just a thought, it may not work, but if you have time go for it.

Hi Gabriela - You do love these guys and it looks like he came to check you out. The overexposure or ETTR in the field is what gave you enough detail on the shadow side. You handled the hls and mixed light very well in pp. Good suggestions about comp and dof.
TFS,
Rachel

This is really nice Gabriela. I feel like reaching out and scratching that beautiful head, right between the ears. Great detail and an awesome look. Very well done
