Hello Friends,
The festive season has begun and I am so happy to see that some of you still manage to process an image or two and participate in our forum :bg3:
Due to lack of time I have - once again - resorted to searching through my folders, thought I would share another B/W conversion to see what you think.
Image was taken in the Kruger Park about a year ago. My subject was walking on a tar road which did not make for a very appealing frame, therefore decided to try and conceal the man-made element to some extent by going monochrome.
Almost FF. Lighting conditions were not great yet I could not resist taking a few shots, really love the species and find their facial expressions very appealing. This hyena had seen a herd of impala resting and she seemed very tempted, but without backup it would have been a waste of time... so she walked away.
Processed in LR and PSCC. Not my best image but I quite liked the pose and uncluttered background. I must say the subject looks quite good in colour but the speckled grey-blue tar road spoils it for me.
Hope you'll be so kind to share your thoughts on this, be it of a technical nature or just aesthetics. I won't be offended if you don't like it:tinysmile_shy_t:
Many thanks for your kind comments on my previous images, I appreciate every word. Hope you have a great week ahead!

PS What looks like a halo around the hyena's ears is actually fine white hairs - thought I'd clarify that before anyone questioned it:S3:
