Gnu line

[Ignacio Yufera]

Nothing special, but I liked the way the Gnu were spaced.
Etosha NP, Namibia.

Excellent image , I liked the two tone colors and placement of Gnu

Nice shot Ignacio. Like the vast expanse and the two tones as well. I think it needs a little CW rotation.

Neat shot. I too, like the spacing of the Gnu. I also like the layered clouds in the sky. As presented with more sky than ground, it gives me a sense of the wide open land they call home. A bowser crop of equal amounts of sky and ground give me a different feel, accentuating the linear elements in the image (clouds, layers of sand, horizon, and animals). I like both versions.

It is really difficult to get a good image of animals in this kind of environment, Ilike what you have done , agree image needs rotation ccw, would crop bottom area up to beginning of orange layer .

good thinking and lovely image

An unusual, for me, composition. It certainly looks dry, I love Etosha is this the Andoni plain?

[Steve Kaluski]

As Ken says, an interesting composition. I feel it could do with a boost as overall, as it looks a little flat. I would also agree with Peter and crop from the bottom, but if you can, add more sky if there is any more in the frame.

A fine image. I agree that cropping from the bottom will strengthen the image. Some more drama in the sky would have been fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks Jackie, I can't seem to decide about the rotation; I applied small amounts but never looks totally right, maybe it's my eyes :cool:
I have tried several cropping options as suggested, but still think leaving some space in the bottom adds to the feel of expanse.

Thank you all for your commments.

this is one place close to me I still need to visit! love the use of space and minimalism here.

Ignacio, I like these panoramic views, and I like the overall space in this. I would leave the horizon/rotation as is, as there is a low point in the middle, so you cant redesign the earth. ;)

Mighty fine image. Different and unique. A little rotation needed as noted above. The balance is very nice.
