Though reminicent of your previous picture of the Impala, this one is actually more eloquent in conveying the impression of the personality of this subject, Annick.
The backlit subject looks almost ethereal here. Your use of aperture value has turned even the other beast within the frame inot a blur.
I like the technique.
Well done!

Hello Annick,

Wonderful picture of these impalas. Excellent composition, POV, DOF and sharpness. Excellent backlight. I like the OOF foreground and background with the laying second impala.
Thanks for sharing,

I really love the skim lighting that the early backlight provides - it is magical. DOF also contributes to making this a a great image.

Hi Annick,
you're well chosen f/2.8 and well placed focus has given this such a great feel of perfect isolation from the rest of the scene. Love the lighting and the natural setting - excellent camera work my friend, well done and have a good weekend.

What a wonderful picture Annick.

You much be really pleased with it. I know I would be over the moon if it was one of mine.

I really like the lighting - no I love the lighting and I think that is what gives the picture so much excellence....

It goes with out saying that the composition is stunning and the OOF Impala in the background just adds so much to the picture as well...

Perfect composition and the out of focus Impala in the BG, looking towards you and the viewer, does add a lot to the entyre great scene.
Excellent work. TFS!!!

Hi Annick

I really like this shot - good composition and POV with good colour and superb detail. Your use of back light is excellent and the OFF impala in the BG adds immensely to the composition. Well observed and captured.

Hallo Annick,
In het overzicht van de pagina herkende ik jouw foto al door het prachtige kleurgebruik. Ook in deze foto klopt alles weer. FANTASTISCH!
Antwoord op je vraag over de ibis: ja, in Blijdorp. Rode kop van de wever: Ik blijf het toch wat vreemd vinden, maar waarschijnlijk heeft ook de lichtinval er mee te maken.
Goed weekend,
Peter

Striking image of this Impala, Annick!
what's so good about this shot is the ground-level POV.
It makes the shot much more natural and much more eye-catching.
Superb back-light and fantastic exposure.
Very, very sharp and crisp.
Superb DOF too that blurs the BG but not so much that we can't make out the other Impala in the BG.
Just superb.

TFS!

Hi again

I was looking at this gorgeous photo for some time now and finally made some time to tell you how much i love it :)
The light here is simply perfect and the contour it gives this delicate impala is just fantastic!!!
The shallow DOF worked wonders yet again, while the exposure is a master's work - retaining the best details even in the dark areas despite shooting almost against the light.
Absolutely stunning! Definitely a fav. :)

BRAVO and TFS
