    Lovely soft colours Ken, good comp & pose also. Perhaps a touch more selective sharpening on the Lechwe.

    Marc,

    At 100% the noise is beginning to show, but perhaps for web I should have given it another round.

    V nice, like the nice soft colors and crop. Sharpness (or not) is ok for me.

    Hi Ken, I liked the fact that his he is looking towards you (not always easy with lechwe) and the BG around his head is pleasing too me. Is there a stalk of grass covering his right eye? One of the photographic difficulties resulting from the big rains that fell in northern Botswana this year is vegetation..it is very high and there is still lots of it around. You mentioned another 'dull day' there Ken, seems as if you had quite a few. Nice picture

    Grant,
    It has been incredibly wet, I dread to think what will happen when the floods come down.
    Luckily I will not be back untilDecember/January and hope not to need Wellington boots or a boat:D
