    Great light on this one Rudi...a true icon of the Kalahari.
    From the look of the terrain this looks to be in the north, Nossob region? :2

    The OOF camelthorn acacia trees give it nice context and their trunks don't really intersect with the antelope which is good. I find the space at the bottom just a tad tight, if you have some I might add a sliver back?

    The image IQ on this is really good, Rudi. Nice comp and like the pose and eye contact. Agree with Morkel on adding just a bit more on bottom if you can. Nice work!

    Hi Rudi, nice, clean and simple, best way to go.

    Like Morkel, would like some more space at the foot and personally a hint more above. Can I suggest next time, take advantage of posting bigger, ie 1024 x 800 (724) as it appears you have the IO and we can appreciate the image better.

    Thanks Brendan, Morkel and Steve!! Will see if I have more space at the bottom tonight and try to repost!

    Some advice:- Is it possible to post an image in a reply without using an URL?

    Hi Rudi

    If you scroll down you will see this, yes? Click on Manage attachments, it will then prompt you to locate the file and upload, but make sure the size is within the Guidelines otherwise it may reject or more importantly resize and lose quality!!! Once it has loaded, you will see that, close window, you are then good to go. You can always click the button Preview Post prior just to check. Always better to load direct from HD or Ext HD (hard drive).

    Hope this helps.

    Rudi - great pose and comp though I agree with more space above and below. Nice light and pleasing colors of the habitat. Well done.

    Dumay has a point, your processing on this image is much better than what I've seen from you before Rudi...
