Hello Annick,
Fantastic shot. You have turned it into a beauty in your picture.:)perfect shrpness and etails. I like the way you have been abe to capture all those hairs on its head and neck. Is it a beard? I liked the expression on its face, so calm and relaxed. Excellent POV and DOF. Thanks for this beautiful picture,
Regards,
Smitha.
P.S: I am adding it to Anil's intimate portraits.

What terrific detail! The image is sharp, the dof is soft, and great contrast between the soft, natural setting (grass) and the heavy image of the warthog - scars and all. Awesome photo.

Hoi Annick,
Een pracht foto met eigenlijk best wel een vriendelijke uitdrukking van het zwein. het detail en de helderheid van deze foto zijn echt super. Ik denk dat je behoorlijk moeilijk licht had om mee te werken.
Groeten.

Close encounters eh? Well close enough with 400 but still.. We had some in Russian Hogs in Mendocino County which were imported in the late 1800's and they live among the redwoods...Very aggressive against humans...there is seriously an open hunting season in fall which is unusual for Mendocino...your best looks a tad more rough..crystal clear..almost too clear:-)

Oh my! ...a face only a mother could love. Your photo however, makes even this guy look somewhat endearing. The sharpness and details are fantastic. I love the simplicity of the shot... nothing but absolute essentials... Mr. Hog and a simple but subtle background in a perfect color.

I'm sorry but this guy is just not pretty ;)
Those baggy eyes and scaley skin.... yeauch!
I suppose it can't help it though, and I don't respect them any less :)
Pin-point focusing and a good DOF.
As usual the sharpness is impeccable and the clarity is superb.
Natural colours and lighting.
Well done Annick.
Keep them coming!
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Annick, this is definately a WOW shot. This shows your technical expertise and your creative eye. How could this be a better shot, I don't think it could. Fantastic close up with such fine and sharp detail in the Water Hog's hair and lashes. Great texture on the skin, wonderful expression on the face. Perfect focus, exposure and colours. Excellent pov and composition.

the pony express!!
one of my favourite animals in the wild and full of comic tendencies as you see them scurry through the long grass in line, antennae erect!

good close up..i only got this close in a giraffe centre where a few were lying around on the ground in the feeding compound.

sharp detail everywhere except the background of course..and that enigmatic look..second only to the wildebeeste

cheers geof

Hello Annick,
I'm back now and good to see you again. :-)
What did you bring here? It's a "Pumbaa" in disney's the lion king. Where is a little meerkat "Timon"? :D)
I could say, "HAKUNA MATATA". :-)

Very nice portrait shot of this Pumbaa, with excellent details and sharpness.
I love this shot very much. Actually, I really envy your gallery which is truly precious and valuable.
Thanks for sharing this lovely photo.
Best wishes,
Kevin

Hello Annick,
A wonderful portrait of an amazing animal!
The fine light renders great details, and the colour palette gives a well balanced and natural impression...
The subject is nicely isolated from the background!
