The Master


I want to know if people feel like the image is framed too closely? It wasn't cropped at all I was just lucky enough to be close. How is the overall composition? I have a hard time balancing my experience with photographs versus what message is conveyed within each image, as regarding titles, do you think this title represents the image? (it's more of a representation of how I experienced this animal throughout an entire summer than what's actually in this specific image). I shoot RAW so I sometimes have a hard time balancing over saturation versus washed out, in print this image really shows up nice with great color, how does the tone and saturation look here? I sometimes beat myself up over not getting his right horn completely in the frame, does this present a problem for the image? Any general comments are welcome, feel free to touch on any subject you feel needs work. I love getting negative feedback because that's the only way I will improve, so please be honest and let me know what you truly think. Thanks for looking I hope you enjoy!

Nice!

Only thing I could suggest is to clone out red and black dots.

Great Photo!

I love the crop, I wouldn't change that one millimetre! The image is razor sharp - and I see it was taken at 400mm. Brilliant! Obviously a tripod job! I do have one little misgiving though. I feel that the animal has rather too much Magenta, the background is heavily magenta but that is fine, a tiny tweak with the colour balance would make me happier. Thanks for sharing such a great shot. AJ
