I really tussled with he idea of a tighter crop. The savanna is wide and the cat stands in contrast with the huge space. I wanted to keep that feeling in the image and not turn it into a portrait.

A great idea . Well done

Hi Les, thank you for the comment. The Pin tail Wydah is endemic in Highveld of South Africa.

Great composition of one of my favourite animals. Well done.

Had a good chuckle a couple of weeks ago when my 5 year old grandson

asked me if the turkeys brain was on the outside of his head. On closer

observation is does look like a brain lying on top of their head. Two

spheres left and right, and appearance.

Thank you all for the compliments.  I would like to thank the kingfisher for posing so patiently. Gravity was a bastard. Hahaha. 

Great image. Straight out of a suspense thriller. well done.

Nice image that exhibits the urgency of the moment. Gotta get this feast up a tree before they take it from me ! Well done Johanna. 

After following this beautiful cat for hours it finally gave up some photo

opportunities. Comments welcome.

Imparts a wonderful serenity and mystery. 

Viewing herds of elephant in the Okavango Delta from 400 feet above the

flood plains is a celestial experience. The last truly free range wild life area

in Africa. Comment welcome. See large.

A bit of background. The hippo had been taken down by a pride of lion the night before and after feasting on a large portion of the hind portion, they

had retreated into the bush to rest up a bit. As is the norm the scavengers then come in to feed . This image was taken at sunrise from a distance of 3 metres. Location : near Mopani camp in the centre of Kruger Park.

A prosperous and wonderful New Year to all my fellow photo.net members.

May it be a year of incredible captures.

Hi Johanna

A wonderful image and message. Hope your 2011 is filled with

happiness and success.

This Chacma youngster like many others in the troop is a ball of energy.

This was a rare moment of pause which I took advantage of,

I laid a dead rat in the roof of my outside garage and waited for total

decomposition. 3 months later I had a perfectly clean skeleton. This is an

image of the front upper incissors. Note the bright orange enamel layer on

the front.
