[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Thanks for viewing and critiquing my Black-faced impala in the previous post.
This one might also be called penkop. An advanced penkop more or less. Whereas the ram's horns still don't have that typical lyre-shaped form, you can already distinguish some beginning.
The Black-faced impala is one the two impala subspecies. The other one is the common impala.
The Black-faced impala is significantly larger than its counterpart the common and has a black facial marking.
The Black-faced subspecies had come close to extinction and in 1968-1971 310 individuals were transferred to Etosha National Park for better protection.

Thanks for viewing and have a nice day...

Hi Annick,
Beautiful animal which you've photographed well. Sharp lines, interesting composition, and nice contrast between foreground and background make this a fine shot. Enjoyed and learned something from your note as well.

Hi Annick.
What a nice surprise: you are here again and share a wonderful picture as usual.
Pictured creature is amazing as well as its reproduction. Composition of the shot is stunning, colours are awesome (including coloration of a fine BG) and details of the animal are superb too. Well done and kind regards.

Hi Annick

Nice portrait of this impala. Great sharpness and composition. I like the forward facing ears and OOF green background.

Depth of field, sharpness and vivid color images and became very successful.

Hi Annick,
Ben ik weer. Ook deze is schitterende. Weer in een perfecte compositie. Uitstekend scherpe details en natuurlijke kleuren. Erg mooie, contrasterende, vage achtergrond.
Groetjes,

Bonjour Annick,
Grand plaisir de revoir de tes postings! C'est vraiment une bonne idée. Toutes sont de merveilleuses photos, j'ai choisi celle-ci montrant avec grande finesse un Impala dans toute sa fragilité. La netteté est excellente et l'arrière-plan d'un vert très subtil très plaisant.
Un grand merci
Amicalement
Anne

Hello Annick,
Wonderful image with fine details, nice colors, good composition, and excellent POV. Well done!
Regards,
Mircea
