This is my first post. I used the Canon 20D, Canon 300 f4 L IS lens. Settings: program mode, 1/1000, f/8 ISO 400. Photographed in Etosha National Park in Namibia from the car (one is not allowed to get out of the car as it is too dangerous). I wanted a dramatic portrait without any distracting background. I look forward to all comments and instruction. Thank you.
this is actually the black-nosed impala, a subspecies found only in Namibia!
for me the modified BG is too obvious, with some hard edges around the antelope. the buck could also be sharper than presented. welcome here and keep them coming!!
Nancy,
Welcome to BPN. The repost is better. Would like to see the original vegetation in the background, if it is not too distracting. Look forward to more.
Another vote for the repost. I might also crop a little off the bottom to lose the tops of the legs and some off the LHS to move a great subject off centre.
