    Default Reading the news

    I haven't posted on the Wildlife section for a long time. No new photo on that end, but looking at my last year's Namibia shots. I found this image that I like. Comments are welcome.

    100-400mm
    ISO200
    f:7.1

    Nice head shot of this beauty. Would consider cloning out the stem crossing the nose and will selectively brighten the animal. Here is a quick repost. Would also try a different compsotion - maybe more of a vertical if you got the room.
    Edit: OK, it took me some time to make the connection between the title and the stem crossing the nose....

    Lorant, you've certainly captured the delicate nature of this antelope.

    Lovely Steenbok portrait Lorant! You should post some more

    Ofer's repost has lifted the vibrance and apparent "flatness" of the image (assume it was shot in the shade of a tree?).

    Ofer - my mind is fried today - please reveal the "connection" to the rest of us??:2:eek:

    Maybe I am wrong but the title suggests that the animal sniffs the stem to know who was there before.....:2

    Exactly:-). I thought it was more obvious. Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I like the repost, Ofer.

    Cute little animal. Slightly prefer the repost for the touch more vibrancy on the color of the animal but OP works for me too. Love the fur pattern in the ears.
