Comment This is a very good photo of great detail level, timing, exposure and light, and I like that you have left some empty space to the left, allowing the animal "to breathe". But I am wondering if the composition could be improved by cropping some more from the left? Have you tried experimenting with a quadratic crop? It may (or may not?) look better. --Slaunger (talk) 20:14, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Support nice portrait, a bit overexposed for my taste and/or the light reflection an the head are a bit disturbing too. I'm missing the rest of this animal and I'd like to see where the animal lives ;-) The main: I prefer exact and only this current crop! A quadratic crop looks prmitive and to simple. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Support Superb portrait. One of the best photos I've seen here. Chapeau! And don't you dare change the crop! Gidip (talk) 17:54, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Info I have dared to upload a square crop as a new file: File:Oryx gazella - Etosha 2014 square crop.jpg. I actually think that makes a quite good composition as well. I am not suggesting to nominate it as an alternative version, it is just for information. --Slaunger (talk) 17:20, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Now has the oryx a wall in front of its head ... no, unfortunately unattractive composition. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 18:55, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, and if it tilts it head back a bit in either version, its horns will get stuck on the wall to the right. Poor onyx-in-a-cage!

Comment Thanks for all the excellent comments and feedback. As usual, it's always nice to see read about other creative perspectives and see derivatives. :-) --~y (talk) 18:25, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Support Light very well managed, I like this portrait very much, excellent background, a bit noisy though. I like this crop, and not the squared one.--Jebulon (talk) 19:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
