The 3 Dimensional Mara

[Dimitri_V]

Patagonian Mara

When i opened this picture in PS for editting , it seemed that (although not a great picture) it looked a bit 3D.
The sky is somehow bright but i couldn`t do much about it as the animal`s body is too dark against the bright bg.

Neat look, the 3D aspect that is. It would be cool to find out how you did it, if you know. Or was it just by chance?

I tend to disagree -- I think it's a great shot. I also agree that I think it a bit 3D as well.

Gorgeous shot dimitri - was that the 300 prime or the 100-300 zoom?

It's jumping out of my monitor!:D Very sharp image despite the high contrast bg.

Wow you are right, the wiskers make it appear to third dimensional. Well done.
