    Hi Marc,
    I like the detail, composition and the POV. The clean background adds to the image.
    Well done and thanks for sharing,
    Mark.

    Lovely profile here in good light.
    I agree with Brendon's assessment and also feel it's a bit on the "green" side, WDYT Marc?

    Marc,
    So they have "mohicans" in Luangwa as well, or is he still young?
    Colours are confusing me to me it looks a little yellow, my new monitor is on its way at last, or so they say

    Appreciate the comments guys, many thanks.
    Granted the muzzle area is perhaps a tad over sharpened, a result of web resize perhaps, but I'm not seeing any green or yellow cast here Ken & Morkel on my cal monitor?
    Definitely a mohican Ken, as I think he is around 6 yrs. plus the yellow you maybe seeing is (I'd like to think) the lovely early golden light .

    What a handsome animal Marc, really like the way he is looking so intently in the camera's direction. The background is a big bonus.

    Marc - nice to see you posting again. Nice regal portrait with good detail and eye contact and clean bg. They don't often come together. Must be a powerful coalition, he doesn't appear to have many battle scars yet.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Marc, Agree with the above, lovely light and great detail of this handsome specimen. Wonderful expression captured. He will certainly do the "MGM" logo proud .

    I know what you mean Morkel, I have 2 X Dell HD 24" U2410's set up as dual monitors both calibrated simultaneously with a Spyder Pro 3,
    and my newer one has just a slightly warmer tone, so I've had to manually tweak the RGB settings on it........go figure??

    Great portrait Marc. Nice detail and clarity and I like the OOF hint of the bush in the BG of the lower left.
