Title: ‘Night Closing In’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm at 200mm, 1/1250 sec at F4.0 ISO 400, hand held. Image was shot at midday under heavily overcast skies resulting in a very flat image out of camera. I decided to go with a low key edit and cooled the white balance to give a feeling of pending nightfall and increase the drama of the ima…Read More![]()

O wow! This is a fantastic wildlife image and congratulations with your award. Initially, I thought increasing the exposure might make it pop, but the dark, subtle mood and colours work beautifully. Just a suggestion—try cropping a bit from the left edge to improve the balance.

Stunning image John! I personally really enjoy the crop with the negative space to the left in your frame. It creates space for the Kudu to look into. The background adds drama and the lowlight impact. Although this image deserves its award, I would selectively add a little warmth to the Kudu itself, that will pop the Kudu from the similar colour…Read More

Thank you for posting Colleen, Although the first Cheetah looks sharp it’s evident that the cat moved slightly when you pressed the shutter. A faster shutter speed would have sorted that out for you. The second cat is unfortunately not sharp, also a focusing issue with the slow shutter speed not helping. Keep on shooting, with practise, comes perfection.

Title: ‘White-Backed Vulture’’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm, 1/800 sec at F6.3 ISO 125, hand held. I deliberately under-exposed the image to give me a low ISO and high shutter speed as I was hand holding, trusting in Canon and Lightroom to recover the subject in post.
Shot in Kruger. Initial post process in DXO Pure Raw and lightroom and t…Read More![]()

Wow John, Love the composition, immaculate detail on the Vulture, nothing blown out, just perfect. The fact that you underexposed adds so much drama as well as impact. The background is perfect and the tree frames the Vulture perfectly. Well done!

Such a beautiful composition Jessica, ist sharp, good light in the eyes, perfectly expose. For a better balance in the frame, I would crop a little at the top for the subject to pop. Well done!

Beautiful shot Bruno.Your image is sharp and well exposed and ample detail in the feathers. When the background is busy, rather oppt for a f/5.6 or f/6 with a lens at that range. It will allow for the subject to pop away from the background for more imapact.
