Vincent,

very nice, the low angle of photography works very well. I personally do not have any problem with the foreground OOF. In my opinion it emphasizes the low angle, and it guides straight to the main subject.

Well done Vincent, lovely light and angle.

Hello Vincent I think this is beautiful and it really appeals to me. The forground is fine for me.

Works for me Vincent...the foreground is no problem.

Hi Vincent,

Nice shot - very nice light.

In response to your question - the out-of-focus grass in the foreground does distract me a little. I think I would have preferred if you had opted for a smaller aperture (I'm guessing your ricebag was firm enough to allow a significantly slower shutter speed than 1/400s). I suspect that even if you went up to f8 or even slightly higher you would have still had a very pleasingly blurred background and would have gained a little more sharpness in the foreground (at least enough to crop up to without positioning your subject too low in the frame).

Cheers...

Brad

Lovely low angle and soft light. The OOF grass is not distracting at all! Not sure if I like these kind of partial animal shots....but I like the way you've presented this.

Great shot! I really like the low angle and the comp. Great light also.

Beautiful light, nice perspective Vincent

Beautiful work Vincent. Congrats on your MP.

I have selected this image for the EP, because it is an good example on how simple methods can improve the composition of an image. It is just an springbok, but due to the low angle of photography the viewer gets avery diferent view of this animal. It is close and personal, and also it shows a bit, how this animal sees it surroundings when it is looking for foot. Also the technical aspect of the image is very goo, good light conditions, one can really identify each tiny hair on its neck. Again, a simple, but very well executed image.
