Nice Morkel, like the inclusion of the branch. And nice sky.

Definitely give a feeling of movement -- nice use of wide angle. I like the subtle darkening at the bottom.

Very nice Morkel...the dead tree adds the perfect element for foreground interest.

Nice one Morkel! Effective in portraying the great plains of the Mara. I would prefer the image without the road to the right, but not a big distraction.
I may have darkened the sky a tad also, but again, just personal preference.

Nice use of a foreground subject and you description of the ballon flight makes me jealous. Could see the a darker sky on this one also
