    I wanted to look at creating more of an artistic feel to a shot of a beautiful kudu bull. Initial post process in lightroom and into Photoshop for an Oil Painting filter. I think it may work well as a canvass print?

    • Beautiful animal portrait John! I love the way the Kudu blends in with the background. Your image is sharp and you’ve handled the exposure well. Thank you for sharing.

    • Hi John, this is a beautiful capture of the kudu, but I don’t think the picture needs all the Photoshop effects. It feels too digital and not refined. I believe your subject deserves better—just my honest opinion, and I hope you take it in good spirit.

      • Thanks. I actually agree. Just trying ways to turn an ordinary shot of a kudu into more of an artwork, apart from going the black and white route.
