    Default Klipspringer

    This would be my first post in the wildlife section. I am joining a trip to Africa in August, so to get tuned I reviewed some of the photos I took during our last trip. Here is one of my favorite mammals from there, the Klipspringer; photographed in South Africa in the Kruger Park. Thanks for looking.

    100-400mm

    Nice pose, looks regal, I like the "Beam me up, Scotty" Antenna.

    The perfect Klipspringer pose, I have only once seen them in this sort of situation you are really lucky:)
    Good crop, nice sharpness (although Klipspringer fur looks sharp naturally), does the BG need a little NR?

    Nice capture. Perfect pose and great you caught those rear hooves- like a ballet dancer. Could you bring the eyes out a little more (I know they are dark)?

    nice pose - always good to get these guys pert and alert on the rocks with a clean BG. where in Kruger? close to Skukuza on the road to Pretoriuskop I presume? agree on some NR on the BG needed

    Again, I would have to echo the above comments.

    My only 'additional' suggestion Lorant would be, is to possibly also use a Circular polariser from time to time which would help and possibly give a punchy BG to your subject.

    Very nice indeed.

    I particularly like the tip toe ( standing on the hooves ) on the back feet. I haven't seen that before.

    I might crop some from the LHS.

    I really like the alert pose and the composition. I would echo the comment about a bit of noise reduction on the sky.

    Good to see him in the open, and I like the light in this. Overall, nice and sharp too.
