The Love-Bite

[Morkel Erasmus]

Sticking with the small furry creatures (so many awesome big cat shots posted this week, I'll hang on a bit with mine so we can have a bit of variety ;))...

These 2 ground squirrels were having a moment while we played voyeur alongside the road in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park last year. I am literally counting the hours until next week Tuesday when we will leave for 12 days in this wonderful National Park. :D:D:D

All comments welcome - wish the light was from behind me...:(

Hey Morkie you did all you could and captured a wonderful, intimate moment between the two. :) Well done. I bet you can't wait for the trip. Wish you best of light and photographic subjects. But most importantly, stay safe bro! :) You ought to be back in time for the kick-off of the REAL football world cup aye? ;)

Morkel,
I am sure two weeks there would be amazing. Nice moment captured. I wish for better light.

Cheers,

The thing I would suggest here Morkel was elevating yourself ever so slightly to get the close OOF rocks on the right out of the image.

Like the interaction Morkel Excellent suggestion on going a bit higher to just clear the rocks !! Worth doing a little PS work to lighten the one in shade a bit !!! .. good luck on your trip !!
