CommentFrom whence this species came: photo taken in Namibia although this species is common across much of southern Africa. It was introduced into Western Australia in the late 1800s. Apologies for the tight crop but I had nothing left at the top of the frame to take in. In any event, the background was rather busy.
EquipmentCanon 80D with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 286mm
1/500 sec, f7.1, ISO 640.
Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting and perform noise reduction. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements v9) where further noise reduction was applied to the main subject using Neat Image plugin for PSE. The background was noise reduced and the main subject sharpened.
LocationOkaukuejo village, Etosha NP, Namibia, Unknown
