This is from an early morning in the forests on foot, last year.

Morkel, this is simply gorgeous. The light, the early morning fog, the pose. Loi

Thanks Loi - it's not even fog. It's just the dawn sun being filtered by the immense trees in Mana...:bg3:

I love this beautiful back-lit image Morkel, it gives it wonderful atmosphere, it's also nice how the zebras are giving you eye contact.

[Steve Canuel]

Beautiful image Morkel. In addition to the atmosphere, I like how the zebras are lined up and the ghostly images of the antelope in the BG. Great stuff.

[Arthur Morris]

Well done and sweet. Love the antelope in front of the 2 trees. I'd eliminate the bit of flare on the ground and the single bright specular highlight high above the back of the front zebra.

I just love this Morkel, superb framing and presentation, great colours, lovely pose from the zebra, very evocative and the kind of image I always expect from you. You have spoilt us with images like this, the environment is beautiful, light is gorgeous, love the atmosphere and the setting makes me think of a story book-congratulations!

Warmest regards,

Hi Morkel - beautiful morning light and excellent eye contact. The impala is a great element. Good suggestions by Artie to take it up a notch.

TFS,
Rachel

Wonderful image. Makes me want to visit Mana Pools even more. Great composition. I like the termite mound on the left to balance out the image.

[Marc Mol]

The lighting and framing here evokes such a great mood here Morkel, nice indeed.:w3
