African Oryx in Etosha, Namibia

As I am quite bad for wildlife photos myself I always admire who can do these very well. This is a a nice work with excellent quality and interesting 3D effect somehow. The grass on the foreground is very well presented.

This shot was taken with a Canon EOS 3000 SLR on E100 VS slide

film. Pictured are some Oryx grazing in Etosha National Park in Northern

Namibia. It's been tweaked using Lightroom 3. Feedback on this one

would be great.

Hello Cory, what is most interesting in this picture is the nice color mix between foreground and background (yellow and green always work well in wildlife photography). This shot though fails to attract the viewer's attention any further due to lack of any short of activity, emotion, behaviour, animal personality display. I would also add that the other two orynx (those not clearly seen in the photo) seem a bit distractive. Finally when you shoot an animal in it's environment, try to avoid placing it in the center of the frame....it creates a sense of unbalance. Regards from Greece, Teo

Very good - the image has a very clean appearance. Maybe someday I will have a chance to visit there.
