I captured this shot almost by accident--I had my tripod set up and trained on the line

of dhows preparing for a race, and then this woman drifted in front of my lens. Lighting

was harsh--full sun--and I tried to balance the exposure for her face with the highlights

on the mast.

Greatly appreciate any comments / critiques!

A mating pair of lion in Ol Pejeta Conservancy near Nanyuki, Kenya. Two exposures -

one with flash on (a mistake at the time) captured the sunset beautifully, while a

second without the flash provided the correct exposure for the lions but a washed out

sky. This is a merged exposure from the two images.

Thanks for your comments and critique!

Taken just before sunset on the Mara plains, following a rainstorm which produced

intense slate blue skies. The only adjustments are saturation and cropping.

Your comments and critiques are welcome!

This photo was taken about half an hour before sunset, 300 mm handheld. The recent

rains had turned the grass and vegetation a vibrant green.
