Taken in the northern Kruger Park, December 2009.
I loved the point-of-view here and the conversion enhanced the detail. This is entirely full frame.
All comments most welcome!

Love the low angle and the eye contact. Also like the position of the right front foot.

I like the conversion it also helps from the road being too distracting. The SS gives a sense of movement...... for me the inclusion or partial inclusion of mothers head wud have made this a stronger image... visually my eye keeps hunting for the head..

Good eye contact from the youngster Mork, and he stands out well from the fur of the parent. Conversion looks good from here.

Great eye contact here. The curved feet and leg positions of the mom together with the hold on tight grasp of the baby gives a good sense of movement.

Excellent, Morkel. The perspective is truly captivating, and the conversion works very well. Very nice!

Morkel - love the eye contact and the conversion. I think it would also make a really strong image to crop the space from the lhs and just have the mother's legs framing the baby as a portrait.
TFS,

Morkel,
You really make photography your "art" and you have done it again here with an odd but compelling perspective. Typically, I just try to get a nice, sharp shot of an animal but you take it a step farther. Good one for sure here.
