Thanks David. I am too dumb to agree or disagree with the leveling stuff. And too tired. I do know that it will be great to meet and work with you on the Cheeseman’s trip!

later and love, artie

The levelling thing can be all sorts of fun.
To my eye, I was thinking, the in focus sand area needs to be level across the image.
This puts the Gemsboks feet slightly angled which is perfectly OK in nature. You would rarely find straight and level lines in a situation where there is no clear horizon in the image.
I tried this and didn’t like it because it leaves the road shadow even more angled.
Perhaps we could say that these slight flaws authenticate the image.
And of course beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
It’s a great image.period.

PS
