I like the way that this one is almost devoid of all color (even though it’s fully saturated). It was sunset in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana when I came across this agreeable black backed jackal. The jackal was very accepting of my approach and I was able to get out of the safari vehicle and down on the ground for an eye level portrait. The low angle also enabled me to blur out most of the background, adding to the monochromatic effect. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/125th of a second

Out of Africa. Out of Botswana’s Kalahari mist. Great shot, Sean!
Thanks Sue. I do love the monochromatic effect on this one.
Great shot, Sean!
I do like the softness of the image
All the best

Thanks Thorsten. It’s always great to be able to get out of the safari vehicle and down on the ground for this type of perspective.
