This little guy was just a few days old and mum's protective nature (not to mention the unfavourable light) didn't make it easy to get an open shot.

Sorry Marc, detail isn't really there or composition for me, especially if you compare Dumay's last image which is almost on a par tech & kit wise. It looks like you are shooting down from a vehicle, I just wonder if you were a little further away you might have got a better POV. Perhaps a tighter crop, but it's the depth of detail for me that is I feel the issue.
Sorry to be so negative on this Marc.

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Always cute to see young ones in the wild being sheltered by mom, Marc, makes for sweet moments. The harsh light really spoils it for me here...Steve has a good point on the detail depth as well.
Do you have any good shots of topi running?
very well done considering light here , I will keep this as all images can not be kept or deleted only on techs only

Nice to see the young version of the species right next to what it'll turn into. Not the most helpful light but if mine I'd blur the FG grasses slight;y to take out some of the crispness and take a little off the right side (as viewed).
Cute little guy and no blue jeans yet. A nice record moment but the harsh light hurts the image. Good points by Steve and Peter about POV. Still a sweet moment and I don't think I've seen a shot of a young Topi before.
TFS,
Rachel
You did as well as you could have in brutal light. A crop from the left and the bottom (esp. the bottom) would work for me.

I'm quite sure we are off-topic now...
Sorry Marc! Hope you don't mind...will cut it short after this post
This was a shoot I did for the "musical" side of my life.

(by the way, that is not a "movie-star" gaze, it's the typical "boy band" gaze:eek:)
