Indian sambar at Ranthambhore National Park, Rajasthan. We had been parked for over an hour watching a patch of scrub where a tiger was said to be lying up, and nothing came out of it. I turned round and found this stag standing a short way behind the vehicle, entirely still, watching us watch the bushes.
Sambar are the largest deer in Asia — a mature stag stands about 5 feet (1.5 m) at the shoulder and can weigh 700 pounds (320 kg) — and in Ranthambhore they are the tiger's principal prey. Their alarm call is what everyone in the park is really listening for; a sambar barking into the trees locates a tiger faster than any amount of watching does. The antlers carry three points to a side and are shed and regrown annually, among the fastest-growing tissue of any mammal — the ridging and wear visible on them is a single season's work.
A note on presentation: black-and-white landscape has traditionally lived on paper, where tone and texture carry the image rather than surface reflectance. This is that tradition; the three papers differ in how much texture and sheen they bring to it.
Fine Art Paper — Canson Arches BFK Rives White is the traditional choice for a monochrome portrait, its velvety surface giving the coat real tactility. Canson Platine Fibre Rag offers a smoother lustre with deeper blacks; Moab Silver Metallic heightens contrast and lends the antler a pearlescent shimmer. Prints are trimmed borderless at the stated size. 8x12 inches and smaller ship flat; larger sizes ship rolled, and are supplied unframed.
Every fine art paper print carries a 1-inch white border for handling and framing, added outside the image dimensions shown. The exception is the largest size in each aspect ratio, where the paper is already at its maximum width: those are printed borderless, edge to edge at the size shown.
