It's never easy getting interesting images of wildebeest, especially in the mara at migration time where they number in the hundreds of thousands.
This guy was recovering from a hangover the previous night with some head/horn dust bathing against this old temite mound.

D3 500VR 1/800s ISO400@ f/5.6. F/F. Oct 2010.

C & C most welcome

Cheers
Marc

Marc,

Perhaps you are too young to remember the "My Brain Hurts" sketch from Monty Python featuring the indominatble Mr Gumby, I think this may have made a good title?

Back to the image it is great and certainly different:cheers::cheers:

I think I have seen all the Monty Python shows and don't recall that one. :e3

I agree with Ken. Very different look at this animal. Good detail in the dark body too Marc.

Remember it well Ken along with the dead parrot and lumberjack sketches.:w3
They were made early 70's from memory, being in my mid teens at the time.

I dig the behaviour here Marc, captured in nice soft light.
Lots of detail in the blacks.

I still laugh my butt off at some of those sketches...the "ministry of silly walks" being a favourite :w3

Nice behaviour captured Mark and good detail on the wildebeest. Love the BG fading off into the distance.
