Hi Annick

A powerful shot, it almost feels like it will charge through my screen !. The wind that is blowing the bottom whiskers adds to the ruggedness of the shot.

Hallo Annick,
Dit is weer echt een topper. Mooie natuurlijke kleuren en haarscherp, maar vooral de compositie en diepte in de foto vind ik schitterend. Het frontale aanzicht met de boom op de achtergrond maakt deze foto tot grote klasse.
Ben even door de punten heen, dat heb je op zo'n chagrijnige regendag als vandaag. Komt goed.
Groeten en ook een goede week gewenst,
Peter

Hi Annick

Very good pose and great detail - the overcast conditions helped reveal detail in this shot.

Hello Annick,
Great POV and excellent composition that includes the OOF tree in the BG in this frontal presentation of the Gnu (the Swedish name and alternative Eng. name).
Superb sharpness and contrast with the BG.
TFS,
Have a good week,
Ivan

Hello Annick,

This is a very fine photo of the wildebeest! You have used DOF in a very good way keeping the animal sharp and bulrying the background. Despite animals dark color all details can be well observed as the image is rasorsharp.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Annick,

Very good image of this "blou wildebees" as distinct from the "swart wildebees" of Natal which is blacker and has heavier shoulders and fore quarters. The subject stands out well from the background and is exceptionally sharp. It is very difficult to get a highlight in the eye of this animal.
Good composition with the tree and the space around the animal.

Annick, This looks like painting. The monotones, dry tree and seemingly under-fed Wildebeest all add together. Great shot. If the rest of the environment was similar, you could have added more of the environment.
