the nyala and the sycamore fig...

this is a young male nyala standing next to a massive sycamore fig tree

(ficus sycomorus).

your comments would be most appreciated, especially on my choice of

black and white... many thanks!

I liked the contrast between the tree & the animal. The tonal range and the level of details are excellent.

with very nice horns.

But the majesty of the animal is somewhat dwarfed by the magnificent tree.

i would give that tree a go on its own..it is indeed magnificent and full of character.

Thanks for the comments, i appreciate it. Yes, i do have some with just the tree, but including the nyala i felt gave it perspective.

Thanks and cheers!

It was a good choice!... In my opinion. I like the composition and the b/w tonalities range. Very good!... Best regards.
