The colour version of this was to say the least not top draw, not enough light to get a fast enough shutter speed, and I should have opened up to F4
So I have converted to B & W to hopefully hide the imperfections?
Taken in Savute Marsh area of Chobe National Park, Botswana, 3rd January 2011.
EOS 1D MkIV
500mm F4 IS hand-held from open game viewing vehicle
F7.1, ISO 800, 1/640, EV+0.67
Man-O-Man , this works for me big time,
Liking B & W too ( 2 images in 2 days , I guess my mind set is changing)
Love the action here Ken , May be full sharp image could not have produced the same impact, High time to send this to London

Very nicely done! No complaints here...
Ken, I love the old-time look. Great action capture to.
you did a sweet conversion on this one Ken...love the action, sepia tone and vignette...looks like an old-school image
DOF adds a lot too
Ken - this works very well, although I'd like to see it without the vignette for comparison.
TFS,

Thanks to everybody for your comments, I "cheated" and used Nik Silver Efex.
Looks quite nice printed
Looks like you found this photo in a chest in the attic.......of a really awesome wildlife photographer!

Looks like I will have to do some more B & W
I still prefer colour and if this had been good enough I would not have converted it.
Nice choice/job on the processing. As others have stated, a real nice vintage look.
