Seeing Stu's post yesterday nade me wonder why I had posted so few,so here is an oldie.

What a gorgeous animal. THis is a first for me. I love the details you have captured in the fur, the pose, and the BG really works to show the Waterbuck's enviroment. I would give it a slight bit of CCW rotation.

Ken - Great detail, pose and environment. Love that you captured part of the rear circle too.

I like the BG. Buck looks a little soft to me. Even though he looks straight in the frame the BG is tilted on the horizon.

The forward looking gaze and relatively soft BG make this one very pleasing.

All slight nits aside, the BG here Ken is really appealing and enhances overall.

Here is a repost with a tad more sharpening and a slight rotatation.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Perfect pose with good eye contact Ken. This angle shows at least some of the circle behind. I like the layered BG. Your repost works well.
