Well said.

Beautiful scene, light and composition. This would be good printed and framed.

Cute shot that tells a story. Nice sharpness on the dog's face too.

Yes, they all have red eyes. Thanks

G9 and PL 100-400.

There was heavy rain while we were there, which meant that some of the reserve, where drives would normally go from Entim, was inaccessible. We weren't aware of the road to Nairobi being closed, ...

Thanks for your comments. A travelogue is pretty simple, as it happens. The trip was with a wildlife photographer called David Lloyd, who uses Entim camp in the Mara. He runs it in multiples of a ...

Hello All Towards the end of the last challenge, I mentioned that I was off to Kenya for a couple of weeks. I was asked to share some photos. It was a fantastic trip and we saw a lot in 2 weeks. I' ...

Thanks all. I'm in Nairobi now, flying off to the Maasai Mara tomorrow. I will bore you with several terabytes of photos......
