    Just got back from Etosha which was well worth a visit. We enjoyed lots of good sightings and different animals like the Black Rhino.

    Hey Vivaldo, this is spooky, just about to drop you a line.

    Great to see you posting, cracking shot. Love the light and detail in the dark area, below the waist line. Looks a little battle scared too. Nice placement within frame, but have you added anything at the top of the image as thee is a horizontal line running across, about 8mm down, moving from the center to the RHS?

    Trust all is well now.

    TFS

    Hi SteveHehe I have been out of circulation for a long while but glad to be back This guy was in a battle, we watched the fight and got some really nice shots. He ended up being the proud winner. I did removed the horizon but did not notice the line, will edit thanks.

    Vivaldo - nice to see you back posting. Nice light and detail. I agree, you can see the battle scars. Only nit from me is that I might crop a tiny bit from the bottom to get rid of the rocks.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Great to have you back, amico mio (have I got that right? ).
    Fabulous specimen, great light and pose with oodles of detail and texture on him.
    Repost sorted out the only nit I had on this one.

    Now where are the 'fight shots' ????
