Hi Doc -- Another nice Gaur portrait . Colours look nice as per the time and condition as I can recall. But the lack of ss has affected the IQ as the face appears a bit crunchy for my taste . watch out for those hls on bottom lip and the horn . keep them coming
TFS !

Nice detail and tone. IQ does not look bad to me. Maybe the horn and ear could be sharper. Thanks Sanjeev!

Hi Sanjeev, personally I find the previous image more engaging and perhaps the tonal range was better? The light appears very even on the face, where as the horn and nose could do with some localised adjustments (darken) to bring back some more depth & tonal range. The sharpness is good, but perhaps bordering on a fraction too much (personal taste as this is perceptual at this stage)? Here f/4 worked, but I would be careful as it drops off quickly.
(Steve, I had borrowed this lens from a friend for the trip. I liked it a lot! Makes me want to sell my 100-400 and get this!)
Yep, it is a great lens, but you have both the 100-400 & 500 MKII's yes, then if the Piggy Bank needs emptying, then buy a 1DX MKII. Stick the 100-400 on the 5D4 and the 500 with the 1.4 on the 1DX, an awesome combo.
TFS

I just want to add that what is missing here is perhaps that clear view of the eye
Excellent spot Gabriela!

I like this more than the one you posted the other day. Nice pose and the light looks brighter. Neat eye lashes on this gaur.
