Itchy rump.

I have been without a computer for just under two weeks, thus my absence from the site. I thought of capturing something different, with this female Impala preening herself. The exposed behind was not intentional, so may I be excused. Taken in the Kruger National Park in overcast conditions.

Hi Stuart - you are excused, but there is something like the blur tool :D.

hehe c'mon Stu - you know you wanted to show us the eye :);)

lovely light and exposure - assume your computer is okay now and you can start posting again?
I would consider a closer crop here, cut off the legs - crop about 10% on every side?

I like the colours and sharpness. Nice eye contact. Am wondering how about showing the full legs.

[Stu Bowie]

Thanks a lot guys.

Mork, I only considered taking a bit off the bottom, but left as is.

Sabya, This is basically full frame, as my main focus area was to show her on the tail.

Super shot Stu. Could try the Liquify filter to save her modesty... :D:D. Very nicely done!

[Steve Canuel]

Nice colors here Stuart. I like the curves of the neck and the tail. The upside down naked mole rat must've been a surprise for you during PP.

Dave, Steve,thanks a lot guys.
