    Well, been over 12 hours since you posted and 34 views with no comments, so I'll try it.
    I like it a lot. Even though I feel it is more of a graphic rather than a wildlife image. I won't buy that the color I see here is the color it was because our eye/brain makes all sorts of changes and "corrections" during the real time/life seeing. If you have however a gray card for reference, than I will certainly admit my wrong assumption. But regardless, I still like it, very powerful color, composition, and overall image. It would make a great cover for a brochure (promotion), with the appropriate text in lower left corner area.

    I like the graphic feel here Mario. Granted, the processing applied is for a particular taste (I do like it! ), I would like to see this with a tad less contrast and saturation just to compare? The light is exquisite and the pose effective.

    Tom, please do explain to us how you would go about using said "gray card" out in the wilderness for getting that "perfect" colour???

    Hi Mario, I too like the 'graphic quality' of the image, although it's perhaps a little enhanced for my tastes. If you have it a little more at the foot of the image that would be good.

    Hi Mario, Ilike the image but find that this image has too much contrast. I thought thiswas taken in Moremi, noticed the tall reeds TFS
