    Hi Vivaldo, looks like you had enough SS so again, I would like to have seen more DOF on this one. Although I am not a great lover of a square crops, this might work, tightening up the image and perhaps it might also engage that eye more. Colour looks good and no need to lift anything on the faces. Interesting mark on the ear in the FG.

    Is this another from the early days?

    No need for any excuses Vivaldo, curious though the mark isn't it, I don't think it's a shadow, looks more like 'a mark', as there seems to be a hint on the other one too.

    Vivaldo,

    I am a little confused as to how this is considered a square crop the image size is around 36 by 25, hardly square

    The dark patches in the backs of the ears are perfectly normal, as that is the standard colour, although I will admit that it is not often we see the backs of the ears in images

    The head angles could be better, but it is rarely anything other than bedlam at a kill.

    Ken I replied to Steve PM. He tried using a square crop which actually works nicely

    Vivaldo,

    So that explains everything, it might have been useful to everybody if Steve had posted his repost, then we may have been able to judge the outcome.

    I hope you are happy with my explanation of the ear colouration, it is certainly not a "fault" in the image.

    Vivaldo,

    Thanks for posting this, but for me it is nowhere as good as the OP, much too tight

    Dramatic moment and good low angle here...a buffalo calf I presume?
    I don't mind either crop - both work for me in different ways.
